Whether it is through trekking amidst lush forests or canoeing across serene streams at Natura Bungalow, these little pieces of advice help to make every moment of your adventure just perfect.

What to Pack for Pu Luong Trekking & Rafting Tour

Pack smart to enjoy your Pu Luong Tours hassle-free. Here is what you need to put in your luggage:

• Trekking Gear: Comfortable shoes with good grip are required for Pu Luong’s trek as one has to walk on different kinds of ground. A lightweight, breathable backpack is ideal for carrying daily treks.
• Clothing: Wear clothes that wick out moisture throughout the day. The temperature can soar up when trekking. It gets cold in the evenings, so a light jacket or fleece could be added on. Not to forget a hat, shades, and raincoat, especially if you are visiting in the rainy season.
• Personal Items: Definitely one will need a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Sunscreen, insect repellent, and a first-aid box may also be worth carrying. If one wants to capture all the wonderful landscapes, then a camera or at least a smartphone with a good enough battery will be required.
• Swimming Gear: Given the fact that you will have the opportunity to swim in the infinity pool installed here, and probably in natural streams as well, do not forget your swimwear.

Health and Safety Tips of Pu Luong Trekking & Rafting Tour

Your safety will be the absolute top priority during the Pu Luong Trekking & Rafting Tour. Listed here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Stay Hydrated: Trekking and rafting can become physically intense, especially if the climate becomes too hot. So, remember to always carry some amounts of water and take regular breaks to rehydrate your body.
• Be Prepared for the Climate: Pu Luong has a tropical climate, hence be ready to change with the rain at any minute. Wear light, airy garments and always keep a rain jacket close by. Through the cooler months, ensure adequate layers on you to stay warm during the evenings.
• Trekking and Rafting Safety: Always follow the instructions given by your guide while on treks/raids. Always stick to the marked paths and avoid wandering alone, as you may get lost because of the thick population of trees. While rafting, always wear a life jacket that is tightly secured.
• Travel Insurance: It is highly recommended that you purchase travel insurance with cover for trekking and adventure activities. This will give you peace of mind in case of any unexpected situations.
• Emergency Contacts: Keep a list of emergency contacts that includes your tour guide’s number, local emergency services, and the details of your country’s embassy. Better to be safe than sorry, even though Pu Luong is generally very safe for tourists.

Best Time to Visit

Choosing the right time to embark on the Pu Luong Trekking & Rafting Tour can make all the difference in your experience:

• March to June: This is an excellent time if you want to view the rice terraces at their most lush green. The weather is warm but not too hostile, hence, very suitable for trekking and other outdoor activities.
• September to November: That is another recommended time for Pu Luong Tours, as the rice terraces turn golden this time – the harvest season. The weather turns cooler and gets more comfortable for hiking, whilst the landscapes become very picturesque.
• Avoid Peak Tourist Seasons: To avoid crowds and have a more tranquil experience, try to avoid any time during Vietnamese public holidays or peak tourist seasons. The rainy season takes place from July to August and may offer some challenges in trekking due to the slippery paths, though it brings out the rice field’s vibrant green color.
