Begin your trek in the charming Thai village of Don village, where traditional stilt houses nestle among lush greenery. Follow peaceful village roads winding through rice terraces, all set against a backdrop of grand mountains.
Continue your walk to Quan - tranquil village, where time seems to slow down. Take a moment to observe the rhythms of local life, admire traditional wooden stilt houses, and soak in the quiet, rustic atmosphere that remains untouched by tourists.
The trail leads onward through cool, shaded palm groves and serene forest paths. Along the way, visit Uoi village. You may come across friendly locals working in their fields. Everyday scenes that add depth and authenticity to your trek.
Follow the cool streams to Lan village, often called the "Kingdom of Thai People in Pu Luong" home to around 100 Thai families. Here, you will have the chance to observe their daily life - simple, humble, and peaceful with a special focus on traditional brocade weaving. Take this time to meet the locals and learn about their craft. Another option to explore the village is by bicycle, with a 30-minute ride offering a refreshing two-wheel experience (available with pre-booking).
Head to Pho Doan, the administrative center of Pu Luong commune, and enjoy lunch at a local eatery with home style flavors. After lunch, take time to explore the area. Follow dirt paths to reach Leo village, where you will find more rice terraces. Then return to the main road and finish right where your unforgettable trek began.
Car transfer service is available if needed. Timing and distance are measured at Quán Mộc Pù Luông in Don village. Based on your actual location, the tour operator will provide you with a detailed timeline before the departure time.
