Ancient Road Youth Hostel

Great place to stay at Tiger leaping gorge, very clean, extremely beautiful view! It’s one of the top very highest houses in that mountain, so ideal to sleep and have a great view in the morning. The owner is very friendly, the wife cooks very well, very authentic with many different animals around (cow, pig, etc). If you are sportive then it’s ok for you to walk up as I did (3km up), otherwise you can arrange with the owner to pick you up by car I was there during the Chinese new year, and the family was EXTREMELY nice as they invited me to share the dinner with then, great experience !😊

Luke’s hostel is the starting place of the best hike in all of tiger leaping gorge. It has the best views of both the gorge as well as the town of Daju. And if you go all the way to the mountain pass, you can see an array of snow mountains all around you. Luke’s hostel isn’t the nicest place to stay, but it’s well worth it for the hike and beautiful scenery.

Good homecooked and reasonably priced food, up in the hills

The owner is so evil, he plays good guy but once you pay him, he will show you hell. We paid him to transport us around Shangri-La (3 different places) he only took us to 2 places and dumped us in the middle of nowhere and lied that the bus is going to Lijiang. Only to find that the bus was going to Shangri-La city center and we missed our flight because of him. We agreed on everything and paid him well, but he was rushing to other people and cheated us. Mind you we are just girls.

推開門就能看到玉龍雪山，山下是洶湧澎湃的金沙江，空氣清新，老闆人也很真誠，期待下次再來感受大自然

因為中虎跳景區的封閉維護，我們前一晚臨時決定走一走下虎跳，去空歡喜觀景台瞅一眼，下午再乘大巴返回麗江。 沒想到我們意外的邂逅了櫨克，櫨克大叔淳樸、善良、熱心。因為人手不足，櫨克給我們簡單的做了一碗麪條。在跟櫨克大叔交談中，得知他一直在維護茶馬古道，還自費搭了好幾次橋，直到最後一座被泥石流摧毀。這條古道可以從納西一直走到哈巴村，出於喜歡此地的真實、寧靜、還有濃厚的生活氣息，我們決定在這多留一晚。 現在看來這是我這輩子做過最正確的決定之一了😆，探索了這條存在千年的茶馬古道，風景自認為是這條高路之最，此外晚上一邊看着雪山邊的日落一邊享受櫨克兒子做的地道氂牛肉火鍋，還有現摘的有機蔬菜，喝着櫨克釀的青稞酒，給這個計劃之外的美好畫上了一個完美的逗號！ 設施：我住的是四人間，床睡着很舒服，櫨克家的住宿條件比較簡陋，沒有拖鞋。但是wifi、熱水這些基礎都有。 衞生：可能是這段時間櫨克在翻新客棧，人手不足，所以房間沒有怎麼打掃。 環境：櫨克自己種的菜園和花，加上這兒的原生態和獨享的美景值得五星 服務：櫨克大叔熱情好客，吃飯住宿在虎跳峽的客棧裏面算是性價比之王了！ 櫨克大叔，後會有期！

虎跳峽徒步的最後一晚決定住在櫨克家，白天看到了絕美的山中瀑布，徒步核桃園，聽着luke講這條路的歷史。在pieter的哈巴山轉山記中也有提到這段路的描述，感興趣的朋友可以在網站上搜尋看看。這條路算是高路徒步的延伸線，我覺得還是很有必要體驗一下的。路比較野，需要嚮導才能走，但是風景也是一頂一的好，山中的水非常清澈，小嚐一口，清甜解渴，是非常不錯的體驗。去櫨克家的路可以直接導航就能到，我推薦最好還是讓櫨克免費接一下，因為都是水泥路走起來會比較費勁，下山可以選擇自己走下去，風景也是很不錯的。此外住宿很舒服，有電熱毯，洗澡水很熱，窗外就是雪山，晚上可以看星星，清晨可以看日出，人多熱鬧的時候還可以一起跳鍋莊舞，聽luke吹葫蘆笙。村裡民風淳樸，至今保留着路不拾遺、夜不閉户的良好風氣。

作為虎跳峽最高的客棧，山上的風景很不錯，時間充裕的話，很值得體驗一下。

不錯，老闆人很好，空氣新鮮，環境安靜優美。晚上睡的很舒服
