Located beside Pudacuo National Park, this is the only natural hot spring tent hotel in Shangri-La. It boasts a geothermal hot spring private bath on a 2200-meter-high plateau, surrounded by lakes, green mountains, and pastures, resembling a paradise on earth. The hotel is situated next to the observation deck of the East Ring Road, just a 20-minute drive from the ancient city of Dukezong, a 5-minute drive from the 5A scenic spot Pudacuo National Park, and a 20-minute drive from the popular hiking route of Abujicuo. Its location is extremely convenient. With the starry sky as a backdrop and tents as a camping site, the hotel offers luxurious rooms with private bathrooms, full heating, and high-star-standard bedding supplies. While enjoying the beautiful natural scenery, guests can also have an extremely luxurious living experience.
"After a long search, I finally settled on this hotel, and the moment we walked through the camp's gates, I knew we'd made the right decision. The hotel is situated on Shangri-La's vast grasslands, and the crabapple tree grove within the camp is absolutely stunning, perfect for photos. A wooden boardwalk leads to a cozy coffee cabin on a small island in the lake. The staff there were incredibly friendly; as hotel guests, we even got a discount on our order and a complimentary mini-cake. We also tried kayaking on the high-altitude lake, which was a blast! The camp also has lambs and sika deer, and our kids spent an entire afternoon happily playing with them. In the evening, soaking in the hot spring under a blanket of stars was pure bliss – I haven't felt that relaxed in ages.
On the second day, the camp manager arranged a customized light trek for us through a 'secret realm' of Pudacuo's primeval forest, which was an amazing surprise! Walking through the dense forest, the vegetation was incredibly lush, and the air was so fresh. I'd anticipated the trek might be a bit tiring, but with gentle slopes and such stunning scenery, we completed it before we even realized it – time truly flew by! Our professional guide meticulously explained the forest's rare plants and animals to the kids, turning it into a real-life nature classroom. Plus, the packed meals provided were very clean and hygienic. 👍
This trip truly exceeded all our expectations. We had hoped to also try the off-road route up to Abuji Lake, but time didn't permit, so we'll save that for next time! From the exceptional service and personalized itineraries to the hotel's fantastic environment and facilities, everything was simply superb. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel! If you're visiting Shangri-La, this is definitely the place to stay!"
