Hazel Henrik 1 contribution UK and Sweden Aug 16, 2009 | Trip type: Couples

We took Sean's 2-day eco-tour from Lijiang with 2 nights at the Guest House. Coming from Lijiang in

the mist and pouring rain, the gorge road to the Guest House was, well, quite an experience - but we had

a warm and efficient welcome at Sean's and were shown to a very nice room, with a nice bathroom,

comfortable bed, and all wood finish. We walked a bit that day in the rain - still amazing views tho - and

had a nice dinner. The next day we walked with Sean up the ridge of one of the nearby peaks via tiny

paths through fields and woods - spectacular views and didn't meet another soul all day apart from the

farmers in the village we visited on the way back down and some free-range pigs and cows. Definitely

worth getting off the beaten track for, although we would never have found the way up without a guide.

By the way, the guidebooks say to come in May and June for wildflowers, but we came in mid-August

and the place was covered with them. We sat up that night looking at the views with other guests. Next

 morning, we walked by ourselves down to the river and left about lunch time.Service and comfort was

uniformly excellent, food was great and the walking as good as we've seen. Definitely come to Tiger

Leaping Gorge, and definitely stay at Sean's.
