Day 02: Pù Luông - Hà Nội

(Breakfast, lunch)


06:00 - 07h30: This is winning time for cloud hunting. Admire a sea of clouds bobbing hillside, pour into the valley then climb up to the mountain. The sun slowly rises beyond those clouds creating a lifetime picture of nature. An easy walk to welcome early sunrise, half of hours meditation or yoga, or simply a cup of hot coffee at the swimming pools, all are an unforgettable memory.

07:30 – 09h00: Breakfast time with buffet.

09:00 - 16h30: This is a great experience combining trek and cycling. We start to descend into the beautiful valley facing the Retreat, where you walk around tumbling rice terraces. Then we will walk through small paths shrouded in vegetation to slowly reveal a picturesque Uoi village sitting at the base of a towering mountain. It is the only place offering the bird eyes view from the top of the pass.

Continue walking downhill to a local home, where you can take a bike to cycle around Lan village. Lặn is tranquil and famous for its embroidery craft-job. A small stream with water from far most mountains winds the houses creating a bunch of outdoor nature bathing places for villagers after long farming days and cycling through the rice paddies and village to village, hanging bridge to explore more the scenic landscapes surrounding. Stop for lunch at a local house or the river banks with stunning views of bunches of water Wheel. You will end up at Hieu Village, and enjoy the Hieu waterfall, the only one in the reserve. Ride back to the bike parking place, where you will go back to Puluong retreat.

16h30 - 19h00: It is a relaxing time at our 2 infinity pools and with our excellent drink list, including wine, ice-cold beer, cocktails, and juicy fruits. Do not forget to try our great massage services, including both foot and body massage.
