Tour itinerary
Get in our car this morning and we will take you along National Road No.6 to the small, isolated town of Mai Chau, which is about 160km from Hanoi. Nestled between two towering cliffs and surrounded by emerald green paddies, it is an enchanting sight that presents an idyllic rural scene. Stop en route to capture the beautiful moments of the valley. Lunch with delicious local food is served in the village.
In the afternoon, take a short drive to the boat dock and embark on a boat trip along Ma River, followed by a 2-3 hour walk through beautiful hillside villages, stunning rice paddies, and crafted bamboo water wheels. With this trip, you will have a chance to admire the wild beauty of Pu Luong Nature Reserve and discover the daily life of the local White Thai people.
Enjoy the night stay in a local house in Hang Village.
Accommodation: Homestay
Wake up early and stroll around the peaceful village, then enjoy a light breakfast with Thai food served by your host family. Our Pu Luong trekking tours will take you at least a day and you will start with the journey to Eo Ken and Kho Muong villages, which is approximately 6 hours. The first half of the trekking is a bit difficult with some steep climbs and stream crossings, but the second half compensates it all as you will hike through a beautiful valley, rice terraces, rich rain forests and meandering streams. Enjoy a picnic lunch at Eo Ken village. In the afternoon, arrive in Kho Muong village and admire its beautiful setting - nestled between steep karst mountains with surrounding rice terraces. Enjoy the night stay in a local Thai house.

Have a full breakfast today as we will have a long day of hiking. The path from Kho Muong Village to Nua Village is the hardest path of Pu Luong trekking tours with steeper climbs and more stream crossings. Along the way, visit a beautiful cave that was only recently discovered and is now protected by the Forest Rangers. Continue trekking to remote areas while passing through steep limestone mountains and rain forest. Head further into the Pu Luong Nature Reserve to visit Nua village. A cool stream is there so you can cool yourself down after a rough trek! A picnic lunch will then be served. After lunch, spend a short time to relax before continuing our journey to Hin – the village of Thai people. After a warm welcome, you will spend your time chatting with the local people to learn about their traditional customs and culture. Have dinner in a traditional house and enjoy your night stay.
