Pu Luong: Rijstterrassen en rustige valleien

Pu Luong is a nature reserve with steep rice terraces, small villages and almost no traffic. It is the closest real mountain area to Ninh Binh, so you can go there without a long drive.

Wat u kunt doen

• Walk between the terraces Paths run from village to village. You can walk for an hour or a full day."
• See the water wheels Big bamboo wheels lift water from the river into the fields. They still work.
• Stay in a stilt house Many families rent out rooms. Simple, clean, and you eat with the family.
• Swim in the river There are quiet spots along the Cham river.

Goed om te weten

• Best light on the terraces is early morning.
• Green season is June and July. Golden rice is late September and early October.
• Roads are narrow and winding. Do not plan to arrive after dark.
