Tour

Mai Chau - Pu Luong

Located only  four hours drive  from Hanoi, Mai Chau and Pu Luong Nature Reserve are excellent destinations for the family. Mai Chau is located in a lush valley surrounded by stunning Karst limestone outcrops.  Cycle through the verdant valleys, hopping  between minority Thai villages and local paddy fields. If you are new to Vietnam this is a great place to get to know the friendly people and experience the breathtaking countryside.

 

Enter Pu Luong Nature reserve, newly formed in 2003 to help protect the Delacours langur, preserve the unique  flora and fauna  of the area  and to add an alternative source of income to the local Thai communities.  Some of the biking will be on an old unsurfaced road built by the French during their 100 year occupation of Vietnam. At other times you’ll be tackling amazing single track (non technical). Overnight in basic but comfortable  ecotourism homestay set up by Flora and Fauna International.

 

End the Adventure at Cuc Phuong National Park, where a visit to the endangered primate rescue centre is a must. Learn about the way of life of the Delacour’s Langur and Cat Ba Langur.
