Day 1: Hanoi to Pu Luong

Settle into a comfortable ride toward the peaceful countryside. Stop for a short refresh break en route, a great chance to stretch and enjoy quiet rural scenery.

Arrive in the heart of Pu Luong Nature Reserve. Savor a traditional lunch at a local eatery, then check into your room. Rest and enjoy the mountain air.

Travel to Ban Cong Village for a relaxed 2.5 km walk across a suspension bridge into a postcard-worthy valley. Expect flowing streams, terraced fields, quiet hamlets, and daily village life. See iconic wooden water wheels, built by local hill tribes.

At Chieu Lau Dam, hop aboard a bamboo raft and glide gently along the water. Learn how locals steer with simple paddles. Step off and continue on foot through lush rice paddies and traditional houses until you meet your driver and return to your lodge.

Unwind however you like. Enjoy an optional cooking experience, dinner served at 7:00 PM, and a free evening to enjoy the sounds of nature. Your first day in Pu Luong ends peacefully under mountain skies.

Day 2: Pu Luong to Hanoi

Enjoy breakfast with views. Be ready to begin exploring by 8:30 AM. Descend gently into the Pu Luong valley toward Don Village, the region’s cultural hub. Walk along charming paths carved through endless terraces, with every turn revealing a new mountain vista.

Continue toward Uoi Hamlet, tucked at the foot of a towering limestone peak. Proceed downhill to Lan Village, known as the largest Thai ethnic community in Pu Luong. Choose between a leisurely bike ride or a walking tour through serene streams, green farmlands, and ponds dotted with ducks.

Meet friendly residents and explore hand-woven brocade traditions, a chance to see authentic craftwork up close. Return for check-out, followed by lunch. Board your bus and enjoy a relaxed ride back to the city.
