1Tiger Leaping Gorge – China

Nestled in the mountains of Yunnan Province, the Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the deepest river canyons in the world and offers a dramatic hiking experience. The trail winds along the side of the gorge, with the Jinsha River rushing below and the snow-capped peaks of the Haba and Jade Dragon Snow Mountains towering above.

The trek typically takes 2-3 days and offers incredible views of the gorge’s dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and terraced fields. The combination of rugged natural beauty and cultural encounters with the local Naxi people makes this hike one of China’s most scenic and rewarding trails.
