A moment from the original
The author visited in two different seasons in 2022. From the high trail, the river seemed small; closer to the water, its force felt entirely different. An overnight stop added another perspective: the cliffs opposite the village changing colour towards evening.
Leave space around the walking
A route is more than the hours spent moving. When choosing a trek, ask where you will stop and how much daylight remains after arrival. An unhurried evening gives you time to notice the place you have walked into.
Our Tiger Leaping Gorge itinerary describes our own walking days and overnight arrangements. Use those details to plan your trip; the linked essay records an earlier visit.
