Tibet Guesthouse 虎跳峡卓玛客栈 offers accommodation in Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area. It is located a 10-minute walk from Middle Section of Tiger Leaping Gorge. Free WiFi is available in all areas.

The guesthouse is a 5-minute drive from Tiger Leaping Gorge Thin Strip of Sky Point. Tiger Leaping Gorge Tourist Centre is located a 45-minute drive away.

A beautiful mountain B&B lodge located near Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, around 10 minutes walk to the exit point of famous MTLG, Zhuoma's son, Dawa offered to drive us there for free, taking around 3 minutes. Room is clean and spacious with the amenities we need. What we love most is the outdoor balcony, where we like to just sitting there, enjoying the magnificent mountain view and Jinsha River or having a coffee or tea with a book in hand, very relaxing.....which even reminds of our past stay in the chalet in the Swiss Alps, fantastic. Zhuoma, the hostess and whole family are very friendly and helpful, working hard and closely, providing us for information and tips for the hiking and trials, we had some good conversations with the family during the stay, both she and her son Dawa are super chef, cook delicious breakfast and dinner for us with a very reasonable price. During our stay, as part of the property is under renovations, Zhuoma made explanations and sincere apology us for the various inconvenience caused, which we understand and accepted. After traveling world and staying many small places, Zhuoma's place is one special in our memory, we are glad to meet and talk to them during our travel, wish them a very good success for their business and life in the future

    Rose the owner is amazing, warm, funny and caring. She speaks very good English and knows what to do and where to go. The place is charming and the location on the edge of the old town couldn’t be better. This is not for those looking for corporate luxury but an authentic experience with a perfect host.

    I really like my room, I absolutely love this style of furnishing. I also really appreciated the electric blanket. In the reception area, one can sit comfortably and meet other travellers. The location is absolutely amazing, right in the old city center. I did all my sightseeing by walking from the hostel.

    Kunga and his wife were very kind and hospitable hosts. They picked us up for free from the High Speed Rail station. Gave us a lot of travel information that made our stay in Shangri La an enjoyable one. Room was cosy and very clean. Heater and electric blanket in the room were enough to keep us warm in the cold winter. Located inside the Duzekong ancient town, food is easily available just outside the guesthouse. Highly recommended!!

    The position of the guesthouse is in the middle of the Dukezong Old Town but in a secondary alley, that grant quiet in the night time. The building is very traditional and enjoyable.

    The hostel is in an excellent location, on a quiet street in the old town, moments away from the main streets and square. Although we had our own bikes, the free bicycle rental is an excellent addition and they're in good quality. Also the hostel cat is adorable and loving!

    Great location, really close to the old town, but still quiet. The room was huge. But what really made my stay exceptional was the front office lady. She was tireless! I had a few problems, and she went above and beyond to help me with everything, from arranging transportation to getting a covid test on short notice. Some things would be really hard for someone that doesn't speak Mandarin. I could not thank her enough.
