Tiger Leaping Gorge

This gorge lies between the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. It is the narrowest part of the  Jingsha Jiang (Jingsha River) where (according to legend) a tiger once leaped across the gorge  here.





It is a 3 km walk along the gorge











Walking through a tunnel



The water is calm here









Finally we reached the Tiger Leaping Gorge
at 3900 m below the peak



The water flows thunderously here as the gorge narrows





Then it was a long walk back
