For the most picture-perfect and culturally rich experience, we suggest booking your Pu Luong Tours in the rice season. Between late May and the first half of June, the rice fields radiate in beautiful green. And between late September and the first half of October, the rice terraces ripen into yellow and come alive with harvest frenzy, the perfect time for photography enthusiasts. The weather in these intervals is also best: dry, cold, and ideal for hiking or biking.
