Tiger Leaping Gorge Tea-Horse Guesthouse

tea horse guest house is one of the main check points along the trek, and has a viewing deck (with bar) where you can get a cup of coffee and enjoy the views of the mountain. the location is superb, and is the perfect spot to stop at if you are doing a 2D1N hike. sit outside of your room and look at the stars at night. as the area is being developed to accommodate more tourist, you’d notice lots of construction going on… amenities are super basic, soap shampoo is provided in sachets and the en-suite rooms have wet toilets (open shower and toilet without partitions). food here is basic, nothing to shout about. my stir fried vegetables came swimming in oil… which i learnt is just how the people in this area cook their food. you can scribble your signature on the walls floors chairs furniture etc as a momento… but the scribbling was too overwhelming for my liking. consider this location for the heritage (being the middle point of the entire tea horse route)… and for the views. even the shared toilets have a view!

I recently stayed at this hotel with a breathtaking panoramic view and I must say, it was a truly memorable experience. The view from my room was absolutely stunning.

After walk the 28 bench trail it is nice to rest at the Tea horse G.H.. The views are amazing, the rooms comfortable and the restaurant serves good food.

the location is very much close to the mountain view. i love the room view so much. the facilities such as cafe and restaurant is vry clean and the surrounding was really scenic to take pictures

The view from the guesthouse is spectacular. The staff are friendly and helped make the stay enjoyable.

The positive reviews are surprising given this is genuinely one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. The toilets for the non en-suite rooms are essentially a rudimentary public toilet that are used by passers by all day. There are no communal areas just for guests and the site is overrun by hikers stopping by for a break (which is fair enough). We could see through to the next rooms through cracks and could hear every word spoken. Yes the terrace is nice but great views are easy to come by in the gorge. As long as the walk starts at the Naxi guesthouse, you could easily do a few more miles and stay somewhere better further along the gorge.

Tea Horse Guest House is a beautiful place to stay if you’re hiking on the Tiger Leaping Gorge Trail. They have a coffee shop with large outdoor deck that offers a spectacular view of the mountains. We stayed in one of the cheaper rooms with shared bathroom on the other side of the parking lot. It was rustic, but they had electric blankets that kept us toasty. It’s a great place. I highly recommend it.

Very basic room with good bed heater. But the mountain view is so spectacular. Imagine waking up to snow mountain behind you. What a blessing. Overall this hotel is considered decent stay for one night. Dont forget to try out butter cookies in the cafe. Homemade and so buttery.

Great location for a rest stop after 28 Bends. Amazing terrace view! Nice restaurant with reasonably priced food. Booked room was a basic one with toilet outside. Issue being the toilet was an 'open' system which was not comfortable to use. Had to hold myself unless it was necessary to do my business. Wifi worked well. Room came with a superb mountain view and adequate wall plug to charge devices. As a plus point, the bed came with heating pad so the night sleep went swimmingly.
