Pu Luong Trekking & Relaxation
Three days in the mountains with one principal full-day challenging trek — not three full trekking days.
Planning answer
What is this journey?
Three days refers to the complete private journey, not three full trekking days — the middle day is the principal full trekking day. This is for travellers who want time to arrive, one demanding day on the trail, and a relaxed finish. Day 1 is transfer, check-in and optional gentle walking. Day 2 is the full challenging trekking day with picnic lunch and private trekking guide. Day 3 is breakfast, an easy morning and private onward transfer. Distance and exact route on the trekking day are confirmed for your departure.
