1. Khampa Nomad Ecolodge and Arts Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 51 reviews
Run by Angela and Djarga, now 11 kms from Tagong town, Khampa Nomad Ecolodge is a comfortable, eco-friendly, off-grid self-sufficient bed-and-breakfast, in the wide open pasturelands, with mountain views and amazing hiking, yet with easy 1-hour access to Kangding airport. We host top-rated horse and hiking treks, nomad tent stays, and artisan workshops; open year-round. The lodge is built with love in traditional style with modern amenities. Our focus is on local nomad food products, modeling rurally-appropriate eco-friendly technologies, and most of all, allowing for authentic experience and real connection to nomads, with experience in the region since 2004 (including founding and running the Khampa Cafe in Tagong from 2010-2014, though we are no longer connected to the cafe).
A word of warning about Angela's 'on the day cancellation' policy
Reviewed By Gaskin_711293Originally decided not to write this review following a visit to Tagong last year, but having recently heard that a friend had experienced the same thing I wanted to share this warning on both travelling to, and staying at, 'Angela's Place'. Last May we travelled in a group of four to Kangding, having booked a highly anticipated stay at Khampa Ecolodge. We had seen many excellent reviews (I'm sure well deserved based on the experiences of those who were actually able to make it there) of the amazing cultural immersion available at the lodge. Upon arrival at Kangding airport security instantly knew where we were going, mentioning Angela and giving the sense that she is well know and respected by locals. Following the usual additional security checks for foreigners (they kept us supplied with tea whilst we waited), we took a car to Tagong, arriving a day prior to our stay at Khampa. That evening, however, we were to receive a call from Angela bearing bad news, we would have to cancel our stay. Angela told us that we were no longer able to stay at the lodge due to local police sensitivities, and that we would need to go elsewhere. When asking for any advice on where to go, she provided no support, so we pushed back on the cancellation asking for more explanation. Apparently this was a step too far, and her next response was to accuse us of wanting to "destroy her business", and "welcome to her world" where foreigners face these types of issues all the time. Not exactly the response you would expect based on the close local community vibes the lodge website promotes (instead it seems that Angela is managing a very delicate situation with the local police). Eventually we gave up, got our refund and went to Xinduqiao instead. Safe to say that Tagong is a sensitive area, and we all know that things can change with regard to foreign guests on a day-to-day basis. None of these risks are mentioned however on the Khampa website, and Angela failed to inform us of any potential problems in the weeks prior to our visit. Instead it seems that foreigners who turn up on a bad day are just left to fend for themselves. Angela - we would never wish to ruin your business, but you have had nearly a year since our failed visit to consider warning foreign guests of the potential cancellation risks. It seems that you still refuse to do so, sticking to your 'on the day cancellation' policy. For all prospective guests, suggest that you think twice about booking Khampa. It may indeed be an incredible experience, but you may become the next victim of cancellation. For us this is permanent, as we are "no longer welcome" at the lodge.

Reliable, comfortable choice
Reviewed By RunawaybluesIts basically a Ramada hotel... and that will tell you its reliable, comfortable choice in Yading. The buffet is better than the limited food options outside. Rooms are big. Leave your luggage on the day leaving for Yading Park and come back to check in here after your park trip. Our itinerary was D1 Shangri La- Daocheng (reached in evening.... check in to Yading Yizhan)... D2- pack limited stuff, leave luggage at front desk and head to Yading National Park, leave luggage at hotel inside park and head for hiking, overnight at hotel inside park (we stayed at Mofan themed hotel), D3 check out, leave luggage at reception, head for hike.. in the evening pick up luggage and head back to yading town and check in to Yading Yizhan. D4 early morning head to airport to fly out. Note that the airport is about 90 mins from the hotel. The park gate is 10 min.

Winter time, less crowd, more space
Reviewed By RachelTan07Loves the bus journey heading towards the last station at the glacier. Park is not crowded and cable car ride with the majestic view of the mountain peak and glacier is best viewed. We were extremely blessed with bright sun and light snow. We didn't have time for stopovers at all other stations except the one before the last. Lovely quietness which is rare in China.

Very comfortable
Reviewed By Darron GThis hotel is very well located, being just 400 metres from the bus station and opposite an exercise park besides the river. It is also walking distance from the Yak market and the centre of town Initially we were put in a room that was missing a toilet and bathroom door, so we asked to be moved somewhere more appropriate. The staff were helpful and did this for us promptly. Had free WIFI and TV with free movies. Breakfast was of a reasonable standard and the beds were comfortable. Enjoyed our one night stay there.

This is one of the few traditional Tibetan houses in the town. Not only the Tibetan appearance, but also the internal wooden structure, as well as Tibetan cultural murals. The owner once operated an inn in Sri Lanka. She is English-speakable and willing to host foreign tourists.
Very very nice!
Reviewed By Potato1964老板中英文无障碍交流沟通！ 客栈在最繁华的主街上，位置超棒！交通方便！200米内各种餐厅，药店 ，超市，非常方便！ 酒店是全木制结构，房间是LOFT的风格，算是这一路里住过的最特色的。 卫生间是我每次住酒店最看重的部分，这家非常非常干净！！宽敞！！必须赞！ 老板是个成都妹子，有趣如果有具体所指的话，大概就是她那样。然而，貌似女神们都有女神经的一面，老板也不例外。哈哈。。。。。。客栈是藏式木质结构的房屋，会让人在旅途中更深切地体会到一些本地的风情习俗，某种程度讲，旅行的意义也是这样吧，到一些美丽温暖的地方，遇到些善良亲切的人（又或者遇不到）。 老板之前在斯里兰卡做民宿，因为喜欢也因为机缘来了稻城，所以店里有正宗的斯里兰卡奶茶，和我曾经在兰卡喝到过的一个味道，地道得很！ 又因为她本人已经迷上了咖啡，也可以期待下，只是无奈我是个对咖啡无感的人。。有些遗憾。 The boss has accessibility communication in English and Chinese! The inn is on the most prosperous main street and the location is superb! Convenient transportation! A variety of restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets within 200 meters, very convenient! The hotel is all-wooden and the room is LOFT style, which is the most characteristic of the road. The bathroom is the most important part of my stay at the hotel, this is very very clean! ! Spacious! ! Must be praised! The boss is a Chengdu girl. It is very nice and amazing. Tibetan wooden houses will make people feel more deeply in the local customs. To some extent, the meaning of travel is also like this. In some beautiful and warm places, meet some kind people. (Or not met). The boss had been doing a guesthouse in Sri Lanka before, so there is authentic Sri Lankan milk tea in the hotel, and the taste very great!!

Good price with good service
Reviewed By Fidelis CI stay in dorm, one bed cost RMB20 per night, good service, good balcony. The bad thing is toilet door cannot lock, hope they fix this problem soon. The transportation to Yading charge more than market price, be careful when ask the price.

Good hotel not so good breakfast
Reviewed By Anthony SI thought the hotel was very good but my wife wasn’t as impressed. The room was big and the beds were comfortable and we slept well. Good air conditioning which was necessary in a cold place. Possibly the best hotel available in Kangding. Breakfast was only so-so with no western food available but the noodles for me as usual were OK. No English spoken in the restaurant but some at reception. No coffee at breakfast. Wifi was fast and free.

One of the best guesthouses we've been to in China

老板人热情
Reviewed By 1406823690老板人很好，热情友好、善良真诚，是一对残疾的夫妻年龄有点大了。房子的卫生都是他们自己收拾的，房间收拾的非常的干净，连橱柜内备用被子度有股淡淡的香味。客栈外观很漂亮很有特色看一眼就喜欢上了，老板还给旅馆们提供了自助厨房和餐厅（图三就是餐厅，厨房没拍。），免费提供米饭和油盐酱醋各种调味品和厨具燃气。给我们在外面玩久了的旅者一种温馨便利，一种家的感觉。
