3 beautiful ‘check-in’ points not to be missed when traveling to Pu Luong
28-Nov-2019
Going on a trip to Pu Luong (Thanh Hoa) will be a new experience for those who love to discover the beauty of the wild, majestic mountains, but no less poetic and peaceful.
Kho Muong
Kho Muong is a pristine valley in the buffer zone of Pu Luong Nature Reserve. From above, Kho Muong appears with the simple beauty of the stilt houses located close to the foot of the mountain. Most houses are roofed with straw roofs, palm roofs with cow stables below and people live above as a tradition from thousands of generations. In front of the stilt houses are gentle terraced fields. Surrounding the valley are pristine primeval forests that seem to be hugging and protecting the villages.

Coming to Kho Muong village, in addition to the landscape and majestic terrain, visitors can also explore the cave with magical stalactites. From Kho Muong village, you can follow the route of 4 Muong villages, Ban Ban - Thanh Cong - Cao Hoong - Ban Kem to explore cultural features, or follow the trail from Kho Muong to Ban Uoi - Pho Doan to get to the Quan village where there are folds of peaceful and simple houses.
Nature here is extremely pure and fresh.
Ban Hieu
Ban Hieu belongs to Co Lung commune, Ba Thuoc district, in the core zone of Pu Luong nature reserve. In Pu Luong during the harvest season, the 25 km long road from Canh Nang town to Hieu village is very beautiful because the two sides are terraced fields on either side of the stream.
In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, this place is also famous for the Hieu stream that can turn trees into rocks. Due to a large amount of limestone, Hieu stream water calcifies the root system of the trees lying under the stream. The end of June or October is when the terraced fields here start to ripen, which is also the time when the most beautiful Hieu and Pu Luong villages of the year.
Pu Luong Retreat
Pu Luong Retreat is located in Pu Luong National Reserve, in Ban Don, Thanh Lam commune, Ba Thuoc district, Thanh Hoa. This eco-friendly resort is a hot place that young people in the North have been favoring recently.
Pu Luong Retreat has 8 lovely bungalows built right next to the edge of the terraces. All bungalows here have beautiful views overlooking the valley below. Every morning, when waking up, tourists cannot help being amazed by the cloudy mist scene before your eyes and the bright dawn from the mountains far away.
Because it is built according to an ecological model, Pu Luong Retreat does not use modern and energy-consuming devices such as televisions, refrigerators and air conditioners. This place is guaranteed to bring you the most comfortable and relaxing moments and completely leave the noisy, bustle, modern life to really mingle with nature!
How to get to Pu Luong Nature Reserve
From Hanoi, you can take a motorbike or car to Lac village, Mai Chau then continue towards Co Luong, turn to the 15C road along the Ma River to Pu Luong Nature Reserve.
After starting from Thanh Hoa city, going northwest, following the Ho Chi Minh trail, turning right in Cam Thuy town, you will meet 15C street in Canh Nang town, then go on about 10 km to reach the destination.
