I have quite a severe fear of heights but I also enjoy a nice hike and good views so I did not want to miss out on this one. For me, there were two critical areas on the hike. The first one was at the very top of the 28 bends where there is an exposed rocky turn that gave me extreme vertigo so that I had to go on all fours. The second bit was the stretch of the trek shortly after Halfway Guesthouse going towards Tina's where the path becomes very rocky and narrow plus you share it with a pipe. This is also where the infamous waterfall crosses the path. I had to do this bit extremely slowly holding my partner's hand and looking at the path, nowhere else. The pictures my partner took here still give me vertigo. Overall I did it and I am glad I went but I would not be able to do it again knowing exactly what it is like now. Anyone that is worried about the heights might consider just hiking to Halfway Guesthouse and arranging alternative transport from there. A few final thoughts: - I am of moderate fitness and did not find it too strenuous overall. - We stopped at Naxi Guesthouse which was a great way of doing it as the guesthouse is the best in the gorge and you start the next day well rested to tackle the 28 bends. The ascent to Naxi Guesthouse is already exhausting! You are also ahead of anyone arriving by bus that day and have the path to yourself. - Second day we went from Naxi Guesthouse to Tibet Guesthouse with lunch at Halfway. Long day but doable. - Yes the bridge construction is visible at the start of the trail but it didn't bother us. You face the other way anyway and once completed this will be an amazing train ride. - Ignore the people complaining about roads and electricity lines, the whole area is still incredibly scenic and who are we to deny the local people a more comfortable lifestyle? - We went in mid November and it was perfect. Sun and blue skies every day, not too cold at night and barely any people on the trail. - Walnut Grove at the end of the trek is lovely and we ended up staying two nights at Tibet Guesthouse to relax and soak up the peaceful atmosphere. - Our bags were stored at Jane's, we are unsure if this place still functions as anything other than bag storage. We were going to have lunch there before starting the trek but they didn't do food. It looked very run down. - We arrived at the start of the trek by private driver from Lijiang, after dropping of our bags he drove us to the start of the path. This is recommended unless you want to walk up a dusty road. - We took a bus from Tina's to Shangri La, departs 3.30pm and costs 55RMB per person. It makes a ten minute stop at Jane's for people to collect their bags.

The biggest monastery in Shangri-La.
Our hotel room had a perfect view of the Monastery to observe at sunrise, sunset and during the day. Our visit was thorough as we had a entrance fee as part of our hotel stay at the Songstam Hotel. Our guide provided in depth knowledge of the various building that make up the monastery.

Potatso National Park is the first national park in China. It is located in the centre of Three Parllel Rivers, and is the World Natural Heritage. It is about 22 km from the Shangri-La County. It is a beautiful park surrounded with coniferous forests. Our walk took 3-4 hour slow and cool walk (in early Nov 2019) along the nice wooden-planked walkway from the starting to the endpoint. In the middle of the park, Shudu Lake, with its blue water under the clear blue sky, is a beauty of Mother's Nature. The reflection of the white clouds onto the blue water is an amazing beauty of its own. Chipmunks and small adorable birds contributed to the joy of our walk from the start to the endpoint. If walking is not a problem, walk and soak into the park's natural beauty is a better choice than taking a boat across the lake to cut down walking time.

This is one of the easiest over 17K peaks that you can hike. No technical climbing required and it's relatively easy depending on how you do it. Most people "cheat" and use Mules to get up to the upper base camp and then from there they go on foot to the peak. The more experienced hikers will start from Haba Village and hike the whole way. No matter which way you go it's a good hike and summiting any time of year is a good accomplishment. There are many outfitters who can help you with the experience. The most experienced one is named, Mr. Luo. He has a great base camp in Haba Village and an excellent reputation as an honest man. His Mules are phenomenal and do the trek multiple times weekly and are extremely surefooted and safe. He can also introduce you to some amazing local sites. His family raises Bees and they have some amazing local honey that they put on his wife's homemade bread that will make you want to move in and stay forever. He is building some more log cabins style rooms for guests facing the peak.

We wanted to visit this temple in this Tibetan setting and landscape and we didn’t regret at all! Beautiful location in a small village with many monks. Peaceful temple and a monk was blessing all the visitors. The walk to the temple was also so lovely. A place not to miss. I could go back there many times.
