Yunnan
Tiger Leaping Gorge & Stone Town Trek
6 days / 5 nightsYunnan4 reviews
Overview
One of Asia's greatest mountain walks, combined with a stay in Shangri-La — the Tibetan town that gives its name to the concept of hidden paradise. The Tiger Leaping Gorge trek follows a high trail above the Yangtze as it punches through a gap between two 5,000-metre peaks. Stone Town (Shaxi) follows: a former Silk Road market town that hasn't changed in centuries. This is Yunnan at its most dramatic and most intimate.
Tour Highlights
- Two-day high trail trek above Tiger Leaping Gorge
- Stay overnight in a guesthouse on the gorge rim with Haba Snow Mountain views
- Morning in Shangri-La's old town — Tibetan butter tea and monastery markets
