So, when you address Pu Luong Tours, timing is pretty important. The best time for enjoying a tour to Pu Luong is the dry season, which falls between October and May. The climatic conditions then are quite nice with a cooling temperature; there is just a little rainfall. The ripening period of rice terraces is even nicer with a green color which shows the wonderful scenery, suitable for taking photos and hiking, from October to November. If you don’t mind a bit of rain, visiting from June to September will reward you with vibrant landscapes and fewer tourists, providing a more tranquil experience.
Cause your comfort to be on track with a Pu Luong Highlights tour. It will require bringing enough light and breathable layers so that you can dress up or down according to the potentially very extreme temperatures.

Do not forget your refillable water bottle, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a small first-aid kit. A power bank can also be useful in remote places where there is little or no electricity.
Your safety is the top priority during your Pu Luong Highlights Tour. Keeping well-hydrated is extremely important when you are going to be trekking in a tropical climate. Keep to marked trails and always follow the instructions of your guide, taking extra care on uneven terrain.

You’ll show more respect toward the culture if you dress modestly; it’s quite significant when entering the villages to keep your shoulders and knees very well covered. Always ask for permission before taking pictures of people or their houses. Anything very small and considerate would be best for local snacks, and handmade crafts as opposed to money in the event that you do wish to offer a gift.
