Overview

Another new famous site in Northern Vietnam is Pu Luong Nature Reserve – a village home of the White Thai, Black Thai, and Muong Ethnic Minority communities. The scenery is well-known for large rice terraces and floating clouds like Sapa but much less touristic. This is a great location for hiking and hard trek through the forest and experience the simple life. The third day, you will have the chance to learn about the Ancient Capital Hoa Lu, ride on the Historical Sao Khe river in Ninh Binh. You will then cycle between the karst mountains to a local family house to learn about their daily life and customs.

    • Visit the beautiful waterfalls, cool bamboo waterwheels and nice rice terraces in Pu Luong
