Most hikers take two days to explore the full Tiger Leaping Gorge trail—but this specially curated one-day itinerary is designed to give you the very best of the gorge without the physical strain or overnight stay. We’ll hike two of the most scenic segments of the trail—between Tea Horse Guesthouse and Halfway Guesthouse, and from Teacher Zhang’s Guesthouse to the famous Dazed Rock. You’ll still see all the legendary viewpoints, without spending time on long, repetitive stretches that offer little scenery. This itinerary is ideal for travelers who want the full Tiger Leaping Gorge experience in a single day, with maximum comfort and flexibility. A private vehicle stays with us throughout the day, transporting us between trailheads and viewpoints, so you save energy for the good stuff. Whether you're into hiking, photography, nature, or slow travel—you'll get a powerful taste of this epic landscape in one memorable, relaxed day. Full two-day hike available on request.

For your comfort and safety, transportation will be arranged based on your group size. We use either a spacious SUV or a comfortable mini van—both fully insured and well-maintained. Since this tour takes place in a high-altitude mountain region, we do not use regular sedans. Your ride will be powerful enough for steep terrain, yet smooth and quiet so you can enjoy the views along the way. All guests get a window seat!
