Passeios em Tiger Leaping Gorge

This tour was absolutely worth it! With the high altitude and unpredictable weather, getting around Lijiang and Shangri-La can be quite challenging, but our driver, 聪奔, made the entire experience so much better. His driving was incredibly smooth — we literally slept like babies throughout the tour! He gave us clear instructions and helpful safety precautions, making sure we were comfortable and well-prepared at every stop. What made the experience even more special was how much he shared about the places we passed along the way. We got to learn so many interesting stories beyond just sightseeing. The translation app he used was also excellent, so communication was never an issue at all. Highly recommend!

recommended tour. the basic meal pack consists of a bun, banana and fruit and pepsi. we stopped by 3 photo spots on the way. at zhanglaoshi rest stop, we changed to a smaller car and drove to the halfway house area. then we started the 6.8km hike (3.2km up and 3.6km downhill). the driver is also the tour guide, my tour guide was very professional and helpful. i was inexperienced in hiking mountain paths and needed extra assistance and he was there to assist me on the downhill section. important to note that for people with no hiking experience, the downhill path is rather scary as there are no barriers and the path is filled with rocks. this middle gorge route also does not include the upper gorge, so you won't be able to get the "iconic" tiger gorge photo. pick this route only if you are interested in the experience of hiking haba mountain. the hike takes around 2-3h depending on your speed and experience.

We were awed by the beauty of the landscape and for that to have happened, we greatly appreciated our dedicated guide (阿万 Ah Wan) who had driven us to the scenic locations and helped us with photos along the way. Prior to the trip, the tour operator contacted me about a week before the to verify pick up location and time. They are truly professional and made our day trip memorable.

Beautiful highland scenery along the route. The lunch is mediocre with only beef and vegetable. The most unworthy site for this trip is the Haba plain site where one need to pay to ride horse to enjoy the scenery as the area are fully blocked by wall.

There were two of us in our group. From the moment we placed our order, customer service representative Aurora meticulously arranged and thoroughly explained the itinerary, and she also tailored it to our preferences. On the day of the trip, our driver and tour guide, Mr. Jun, took excellent care of us throughout the journey, which went very smoothly. Mr. Jun also provided detailed information about each landmark and its culture. The trip was extremely satisfying, and we thank you again.

O passeio forneceu bastões de caminhada. Caminhamos de onde estacionamos até a pousada Teahorse, voltamos para a pousada Halfway para almoçar e depois para a cachoeira Longdong. O guia nos deu a opção de caminhar até a pousada Zhanglaoshi por conta própria, em vez de voltar pelo mesmo caminho para o carro, e nos buscou na estrada principal no final da trilha. Caminhada total de 12,7 km, mas o terreno era fácil e adequado para iniciantes. O guia tirou muitas fotos nossas e as enviou quase imediatamente no WeChat. Condução muito segura nas estradas da montanha.

The first time I went on a group tour, we ate at the tour guide's house. They said it was to experience local life, but being driven directly to the guide's home felt a bit strange. Then, I was quite surprised by the meal, which consisted of only two dishes and one soup. Afterward, the guide's family started selling their herbal medicines and cordyceps, claiming they could cure all kinds of illnesses. As soon as we arrived at the grassland itinerary, everyone was required to purchase the same-priced horseback riding package, with the promise that we could take our time. However, once we were on the grassland, when I tried to take good photos, the horse handler kept rushing us to move on. Even when we paid extra for travel photography and makeup, they just took the money and kept hurrying us. The overall experience wasn't great; it felt like I had to spend at least an extra 200 RMB there.
