Itinerary

Full-day itinerary

The day begins by leaving the main roads and entering quiet valley trails. The route follows rice terraces, small rivers, farmland and village paths, passing through several ethnic villages along the way.

Around midday you stop for lunch at a local home or a simple local restaurant, with time to rest before continuing the afternoon walk. The second half of the trek offers more open valley views and village scenery before finishing in the late afternoon.

At the end of the trek you return to your hotel or are picked up to continue your journey, depending on your plan.

Getting there and paying

A trek can start in Hanoi when Hanoi–Pu Luong transport is part of the confirmed itinerary, or from your hotel, homestay or bungalow in Pu Luong if you are already there.

Vehicle type depends on the number of guests, the itinerary and what the trip actually needs, so it is confirmed for each booking rather than fixed on this page.

Normally around 30% is paid as a deposit after we confirm your booking, with the balance around 7 days before departure. Arrangements can be adjusted case by case, and your own booking confirmation always takes priority.

Light rain does not automatically cancel a trek. Route and pace may change with conditions, and unsafe conditions can mean rerouting, delay, postponement or cancellation. That safety decision is made by the operator and your guide.

Confirmed for you in writing before you pay

We would rather confirm these in writing for your dates and group than publish a number that turns out not to match your trek:

  • Price and what the price is based on
  • Meeting point and start time
  • Exact route and villages
  • Walking distance and walking hours
  • Transport and pickup arrangement
  • Lunch venue
  • Full inclusions and exclusions
  • Cancellation and rain-day handling
  • Photographs of the route
  • What makes this different from the Half-Day Easy Trek
