A Pu Luong bicycle tour is a fully immersive cycling experience through one of northern Vietnam’s most breathtaking and least-explored regions. Pu Luong Nature Reserve is home to terraced rice fields, limestone mountains, bamboo forests, and ethnic Thai villages.
This tour allows you to see the real Vietnam—far from touristy cities and crowded routes.
Unlike Sapa or Ha Giang, Pu Luong remains wild, serene, and relatively unknown to mass tourism. You’ll bike through:
Lush green valleys
Rice terraces that stretch for miles
Water wheels and river crossings
Caves and hidden waterfalls
Pu Luong is home to ethnic Thai and Muong communities. During your tour, you’ll:
Visit stilt houses
Share meals with locals
Learn traditional weaving
Join cultural performances (seasonal)
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cyclist, Golden Cycling Tours offers flexible bicycle tours tailored to your needs:
Half-day village loops
Full-day rice terrace rides
Multi-day expeditions from Mai Chau or Ninh Binh
Cycling is the most sustainable way to explore Pu Luong, minimizing your carbon footprint while supporting local communities directly.
