One of the deepest river gorges in the world, Tiger Leaping Gorge runs for 16 kilometres where the Jinsha River is compressed between the Jade Dragon and Haba snow ranges. The two-day high trail hugs cliff faces several hundred metres above the water and passes through Naxi minority villages. The gorge earns its name from a mid-river boulder where, by legend, a tiger escaped hunters.
