Tiger leaping gorge 2 days hiking tour
About 100 kilometers (62 miles) northwest of Lijiang Old Town lying between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (Yulong Xueshan) and Haba Snow Mountain (Haba Xueshan) is Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hutiao Gorge), which is believed to be the deepest gorge in the world. From the top of the gorge you look down the steeply angled (70-90 degrees) mountain sides to the rushing Golden Sands (Jingsha) River with its 18 frothing rapids more than 200 meters (about 700 feet) below.
Naturally divided into three sections, the first section, which is the narrowest and uppermost section, is the mouth of the fast flowing Jingsha River. In the midst of the river's mouth is a large rock that is positioned at the gorge's narrowest section-only 30 meters (33 yards) wide.

Day 1: Lijiang – Tiger Leaping Gorge Trek – Halfway Guesthouse
In the morning, your private guide and driver will meet you at your hotel in Lijiang and drive for about 2.5 hours to Changsheng Village in Qiaotou Town, the starting point of your Tiger Leaping Gorge trekking adventure. En route, stop at the First Bend of the Yangtze River to enjoy the dramatic mountain scenery and views of the river valley.
Upon arrival at Qiaotou, begin your approximately 17-kilometer hike toward Halfway Guesthouse. The trek takes around seven hours, depending on your walking pace and trail conditions.
The first section takes about two hours to reach Naxi Family Guesthouse, where you can stop for lunch and take a short rest. Afterward, continue along the mountain trail toward the famous 28 Bends, a steep section of switchbacks that climbs sharply up the mountainside. Although challenging, this section offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and the Jinsha River Valley.
Continue hiking for another two to three hours to reach Halfway Guesthouse. From the guesthouse, enjoy impressive views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the deep Jinsha River Valley below.
Stay overnight at Halfway Guesthouse.

Day 2: Halfway Guesthouse – Tiger Leaping Gorge – Lijiang
Rise early this morning to continue your trek through the upper section of Tiger Leaping Gorge. After breakfast, hike downhill for approximately two hours toward Tina’s Guesthouse. Along the way, pass through mountain canyons and enjoy changing views of the dramatic gorge landscape.
Arrive at Tina’s Guesthouse for lunch and a short rest. In the afternoon, continue with a steep downhill hike of about one hour toward the Jinsha River and the Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge. This section takes you deep into the gorge, where the river rushes between towering cliffs. You will reach Tiger Leaping Stone, associated with the local legend behind the name Tiger Leaping Gorge and located in one of the narrowest and most dramatic sections of the gorge.
After exploring the riverbank, hike back uphill to Tina’s Guesthouse, taking approximately one hour.
From Tina’s, drive for about 30 minutes to Xincun Village Pier. Here, take a ferry across the Jinsha River to Daju Pier, a journey that usually takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on local conditions. Upon arrival at Daju, meet your driver and continue by road to Lijiang, with the drive taking approximately 2.5 hours.
Arrive in Lijiang in the evening, where your 2-day Tiger Leaping Gorge trekking adventure comes to an end.
