Pu Luong Tour: Full Explorer in 3 Days

Begin your adventure with a comfortable limousine bus pick-up from Hanoi. During the journey, make a stop at Thung Khe Pass to take in spectacular views of the Mai Chau Valley. Here, you can also visit local vendors selling products from the area, and don't miss the chance to try “Com Lam” – sticky rice cooked inside bamboo tubes, a local specialty.

Upon arrival at Pu Luong Nature Reserve, you’ll enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch at the retreat. Afterward, check in and enjoy some free time to relax and immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings.

Start your afternoon trek, passing through Ba Village with its old traditional houses. Continue your trek through picturesque rice terraces, then visit the incredible bamboo waterwheels of the Thai ethnic group – a signature feature of Pu Luong. Afterward, embark on a serene bamboo boat ride along the Cham River, a peaceful way to enjoy the landscape while seeing local life up close.

Return to the retreat for a well-deserved rest. You can unwind by the infinity pool, enjoy dinner at the eco-restaurant, and spend a peaceful evening relaxing by the pool or in the bar.

After breakfast, head to the starting point of today’s trek. The trek takes you along a narrow dirt path that winds through an isolated hamlet and lush jungle. The highlight is reaching the higher part of Hieu Village, where you’ll be treated to stunning panoramic views. Along the way, admire the region’s natural beauty and serene atmosphere.

Continue the trek down to reach a waterfall, where you can enjoy a swim (season-dependent). After the waterfall stop, head to a local homestay where you’ll experience a garden-to-table lunch made with fresh ingredients from the village. This is a great opportunity to interact with locals and learn about their way of life.

After lunch, take some time to relax and explore Bang Village or simply return to the retreat. You can enjoy some leisure time by the pool, take a walk around the village, or just unwind in your room.

Enjoy another delicious dinner at the eco-restaurant, followed by a relaxing evening.

Begin the day with a trek to Kho Muong Village, located amidst stunning rice terraces. As you reach higher ground, take in the breathtaking views of the valley below. The trek continues to the entrance of the Bat Cave, which you can explore if the weather conditions allow.

After completing the trek, return to the homestay for a final lunch. This is a perfect opportunity to relax before the journey back.

After lunch and some time for relaxation, check out of the homestay and head back to Hanoi. The estimated arrival time in Hanoi is around 7:00 PM, marking the end of your adventure.
