Hilltribe Jungle Trek Vietnam
Trek through unspoilt forest and fertile rice terraces, soaking up the cultural diversity and beautiful scenery of this untouristed region.
The Pu Luong limestone landscape of Northern Vietnam is an area of outstanding beauty, cultural interest and high biodiversity. Stretching from Mai Chau in the northwest to Cuc Phuong National Park, it is blessed with rich unspoilt forest, limestone karst panoramas and fertile rice terraces.
We will see few tourists venturing this far off the beaten track, but as we trek through the forested hills and paddy-fields we will experience first-hand the everyday life and culture of the minority Thai and Muong people. We sleep in traditional villages houses each night. Time in bustling, colonial Hanoi provides a wonderful contrast to the tranquil remoteness of our trek.
