Day 1 Pick up from Hotels in Lijiang, Drive to Qiaotao, Hike to Tea Horse Guest House (approximately 5 hours)
Your private guide will be holding GoGrandChina pick-up sign and waiting for you in your hotel lobby (or other appointed meeting place) at the appointed time. You will be transferred to the starting point of the upper trail of Tiger Leaping Gorge in a comfortable private vehicle (approximately 78 km, about 2 hours driving). Then,  it is about a two-hour uphill climb to reach Naxi Guest House. From Naxi Guest House onward, the first part of the trail is a gradual climb, not too tough and a couple of quite scary bits. After about an hour, reach the notorious 28 bends, supposedly the steepest and hardest part of the trail. The trail here was fairly wide, catch your breath and enjoy the view. The next hour was a fairly flat wide trail through pine forests to Tea Horse Guest House.

Meals Included: No meals

Day 2 Hike from Tea Horse Guest House to Tina's Guest House (approximately 4 hours), Transfer to Your Hotel in Lijiang
Hike from Tea Horse Guest House to Tina's Guest House. The first part of the trail toward Halfway Guesthouse was fairly flat and wide. It was a relatively easy stroll through pine forests and offerings of great views across the gorge. The walk onward from Halfway continued to be fairly flat for a while, passing by a few gentle waterfalls, then there is a steep uphill climb, then it was down to Tina's Guest House. Transfer back to your accommodation in Lijiang (approximately 78 km, about 2 hours driving).
