Reviews
Tour provided hiking poles. We walked from where we parked to teahorse inn, back to halfway inn to have lunch and to longdong waterfall. Guide gave us the option to walk to Zhanglaoshi inn on our own instead of walking the same way back to the car and picked us up at the main road at the end of the trail. 12.7km hike in total but terrain was easy and beginner friendly. Guide took many photos of us and sent them almost immediately on WeChat. V safe driving on the mountain roads.
Really enjoyed this tour. Probably the best choice if you want to see the various highlights of the Tiger Leaping Gorge but not too sure that you can climb the entirety of the route (this tour, after a slightly challenging morning which includes the upward 168-step ladder challenge, largely takes you downwards). What I also liked about the tour was that the tour guide felt like one of us (amazingly he was both the driver and the guide). He did a good job managing the group - some could go quick but some needed more time to trek. Finally - no hard selling of anything nor soliciting for tips!
this activity was very awesome!! so glad we booked this activity. we did hike twice- first was along a ridge at haba snow mountain overlooking jade snow mountain (back part that's why no snow was visible), second was after lunch at tiger leaping jorge. the hiking was easy to moderate, depending on the person. easy because haba snow mountain was 8km but relatively flat, not much dirt tracks. we stopped for a quick morning snack at this Cafe facing jade snow mountain. it was so beautiful! next hike was after lunch, hiking down tiger leaping jorge was easy but climbing back up was a lot of steps which is always harder for me so I had to stop every now and then to breathe. there was the option to take ladder up, about 3-storey high. but we still opted to take the same path so that we could rest whenever we wanted to. it was 1.5km climb down and 1.5km climb up. that day the weather was not cold. sun was very bright from noon onwards so it was nice that we hiked haba snow mountain first. our tour guide was great too, he took lots of beautiful pictures of us. on the way back, we stopped along a road to buy some apples and peaches. those were juicy and sweet, must buy! will definitely be do
Our guide 阿东 was a warm and friendly guide who made our experience so pleasant. He took time to tell us more about Yunnan, and made an effort to get to know us too. He was accommodative to our needs, and was intentional in taking many great shots of us along the way too! Would totally recommend his service to anyone who wants to join this tour in future.
An easy route (hilly towards the end as you go downhill) that provides you with gorgeous views of the gorge!
The tour guide picked me up at the hotel early in the morning. Before there were buses to Tiger Leaping Gorge, he took me to Zhonghu Leaping Gorge to see the most attractive canyons and rapids. Since there were no crowds, I could take many photos. Afterwards, we climbed up the 168-level Brave Ladder, returned to Teacher Zhang’s Inn (reception center), had a relaxing and comfortable lunch, and finally took a look at the waterfall before returning. There are beautiful scenery, challenges, and enjoyment along the way, and it is truly satisfying. The tour guide was very attentive and always took care of the needs of the group members. He even took the initiative to take many beautiful photos and videos for us during the break and shared them with us during the break. A very cost-effective trip.
A big thanks to our guide- 和师傅 for being so flexible and showing us around. we were thankful that he picked us up from our hotel though it’s quite far from town (we stayed near Baisha), and he is punctual. We took a longer time to have coffee and lunch but he was waiting for us patiently to let us enjoy our meals. I would definitely recommend him! :)
I was hesitated to book this tour initially as too few reviews (only 3 so far). glad that I proceed with booking. was a pleasant experience and amazing views. it wasn’t as difficult as I thought. on the way, we have seen elderly people too. Tour guide was very helpful and friendly.
Our tour guide, Sun Kang, has been very helpful, attentive,and very peronalise making our trip to Tiger's Leaping Gorge and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended tour guide for anyone interested
The whole hiking journey is very challenging but the tour guide make it easier for us, sorry didn't manage to get his name (wechat id: lmyw 900714). He really care for each Individual participant hiker. No short cut, no forcing you to buy things and no asking for tips. Thank you Mr. Tour Guide
