Pu Luong Retreat is tucked away in a little spot with magnificent views, completely unimpeded, over Pu Luong Nature Reserve. A new addition to out portfolio in this area, offering something completely different to Mai Chau, and without the crowds. There are walks on offer through the reserva, amongst villages, along rice paddies, and wherever our feet will take you. The walks can be tailored to suit you, ranging from short ambles to full day treks. Just make sure you have plenty of space on your memory cards as your trigger finger won’t stay still for long.

Expect epic walks, epic views, and epic photographs. It’s all just pretty epic. Oh, and you’ll get genuine encounters with locals, nothing contrived. Pu Luong is fantastic for first time visitors not wanting to go to crowded places, or hardened Vietnam travellers looking for something new.
