If you're looking for more than just scenic views, ethnic village cycling in Pu Luong offers a rare opportunity to experience Vietnam’s rich cultural diversity up close. The region is home to traditional Thai and Muong communities, who have lived harmoniously with nature for generations.
With Golden Cycling Tours, you’ll go beyond sightseeing—you’ll cycle into the soul of Vietnam.
Stop in small villages where stilt houses line the road, women weave textiles, and elders invite you in for tea.
Cycle past rice paddies, water wheels, grazing buffalo, and locals tending their fields using traditional methods.
Explore areas untouched by mass tourism—such as Kho Muong, Ban Uoi, Son Ba Muoi, and Ban Hieu.
Get hands-on with local artisans: try bamboo weaving, silk dyeing, or even taste home-fermented rice wine.
