Pu Luong Naturar Reserve

Pu Luong Natural Retreat which sits about 160km southwest Hanoi is considered as a weekend getaway for locals. Pu Luong features verdant rice terrace fields where farmers toil and moil from early in the morning till sunset, pristine forest and lush green valleys. It is also an ideal place of biodiversity. Pu Luong means a high peak in a valley in Thai language.

Pu Luong is one of the off-the-beaten-path places in Hanoi where you enjoy trekking and multi-day hikes among rice paddy fields and forests. Pu Luong is home to the ethnic minority people who live on stilt houses and are very hostile and willing to invite travellers into their houses for a cup of tea.
