Summit Hotels & Resorts has strengthened its footprint in the Eastern Himalayan region with the launch of Rungkhung Village Resort in Dirang, Arunachal Pradesh, under its premium “The Signature Collection” portfolio.
Nestled in the picturesque Dirang Valley overlooking the Kameng River, the boutique retreat is designed to offer travellers an immersive mountain experience amid mist-covered hills, layered valleys and pristine natural surroundings. The property reflects a blend of local Arunachali aesthetics with contemporary hospitality, catering to the growing demand for experience-driven and slow-travel destinations.
The resort features Premium View Rooms and Junior Suites, each equipped with private balconies offering panoramic river and valley views. Interiors combine warm textures, earthy tones and modern comforts to create an elegant yet locally inspired ambience.
Dining at the property includes an all-day restaurant serving a combination of multi-cuisine offerings and regional Northeast delicacies, complemented by scenic valley-facing views. Guests can also enjoy landscaped gardens, bonfire areas and dedicated outdoor relaxation spaces designed to enhance engagement with nature.
The property additionally offers curated local experiences and nature-based activities, positioning Dirang as an emerging alternative to crowded hill destinations. With its low-density layout and privacy-focused design, the resort aims to provide a tranquil and immersive stay experience.
Commenting on the expansion, Sumit Mitruka said,
“Dirang is an emerging destination with immense natural appeal, and we see growing interest from travellers looking for less crowded, experience-driven locations. Our approach has been to create a property that stays true to the destination while offering the comfort and consistency that guests expect from the Summit brand.”
The addition of Rungkhung Village Resort highlights Summit Hotels & Resorts’ continued strategy of expanding boutique hospitality offerings across high-potential destinations in the Eastern Himalayan belt, with a strong focus on experiential and location-led travel.
