Pu Luong Nature Trekking
Pu Luong is still largely unknown to mass tourism, yet it brings together the most beautiful highlights of Northern Viet Nam. Here you will find mountain ranges and valleys like Sa Pa, spectacular terraced rice fields reminiscent of Mu Cang Chai, and traditional stilt-house villages similar to Mai Chau.
Pu Luong captivates visitors with lush green forests, endless rice terraces, and handcrafted bamboo water wheels that channel river water into small irrigation canals — all forming a magnificent and unspoiled mountain landscape. You will also have the opportunity to meet Thai ethnic people, learn about their cuisine, culture, traditions, and experience their daily life.
