A Pu Luong cycling trip is an immersive travel experience where you ride through one of Vietnam’s most scenic and least-touristy nature reserves. Located in Thanh Hoa Province, just 4 hours southwest of Hanoi, Pu Luong offers:
Jaw-dropping terraced rice fields
Remote Thai and Muong ethnic villages
Bamboo forests, rivers, and waterfalls
Authentic cultural experiences
Golden Cycling Tours provides safe, professional, and customizable bike tours that give travelers the opportunity to experience Pu Luong in a slow, intentional, and eco-friendly way.

During your cycling trip, you’ll pass through traditional stilt houses, share tea with Thai locals, witness farmers at work in rice paddies, and perhaps even join in a village festival.
Whether you're an experienced cyclist or a beginner looking for adventure, the terrain of Pu Luong has something for everyone—from flat valley paths to hilly mountain climbs.
Cycling is one of the best ways to minimize your impact while still experiencing everything this beautiful region has to offer.
