Let Impress Travel guide you beyond the usual into a world where each new dawn is a new start.
What makes our Pu Luong tours stay at Pu Luong Ecolodge begin? It begins with its location situated serenely within Don Village, enveloped by endless fields of green, by the greenery of the surrounding Pu Luong Nature Reserve. Here, nature is not merely a backdrop, it’s a friend.
The lodge, constructed from such native materials as wood, bamboo, and thatch, is designed after the architecture of typical Thai stilt houses. It opens its spaces up to natural light, fresh mountain breezes, and serenity. No TV. No neon lights. Only the birdsong, rustling leaves, and an occasional soft splash of water from the nearby stream.
Breathtaking Views & On-Site Infinity Pool
One of the crown jewels of the Pu Luong tours stay at Pu Luong Ecolodge, with its infinity pool, a glimmering reflection of the sky set against a backdrop of terraced mountains. Guests adore unwinding here during sunset, as colors dissolve over the hills. Your private balcony or shared lounge is where you can relish views of rolling rice paddies, misty mountains, and grazing water buffalo.
These are the places where each photograph seems like a postcard, and each moment is a meditation.

Practical Travel Tips for Your Pu Luong Tours Stay at Pu Luong Ecolodge
Plan your journey like a pro before packing your bags for the experience of a lifetime with our Pu Luong tours stay at Pu Luong Ecolodge. Below is all you need to know for a smooth, comfortable, culturally respectful, and enjoyable trip, regardless of being a first-time visitor to northern Vietnam or an old hand.
How to Get from Hanoi to Pu Luong
The journey from Hanoi is about 170 kilometers, a scenic one over mountain passes, through valleys, and ethnic communities. There are a few different travel alternatives for visitors arriving for our Pu Luong Tours:
Private car or tour bus (recommended): If you reserve a package with Impress Travel, round-trip transportation is included. Our company provides an air-conditioned, clean, well-maintained vehicle, a professional driver, and an English-speaking guide for a relaxing, scenic drive lasting approximately 4-4.5 hours.
Public bus to Ba Thuoc town: There is a local bus that goes as far as Canh Nang or the town of Ba Thuoc. Take a motorbike or a taxi for the last 20 kilometers from here to arrive at Pu Luong Ecolodge. This is cheaper but not as convenient.
Motorbike (for adventurers!): For the freedom of the wind through your hair and the rush of the open road, rent a motorbike in Hanoi. The trip is mountainous and twisting, ideal for self-assured drivers who seek out spectacular scenery along the route.
Best Time to Visit Pu Luong
The season of Pu Luong is one of constantly shifting beauty, as each season is unique with its special charm. However, the best time is:
May through June – The beginning of the rice cultivation season. Terraces are bathed with new green, and the surrounding countryside is bustling with planting ceremonies.
September-October, Harvest time. Golden fields of rice spread across the hills, and the landscape is transformed into a surreal yellow-amber sea, a photographer’s as well as nature lover’s delight.
What to Pack for Your Pu Luong Tours
Packing for your Pu Luong tours stay at Pu Luong Ecolodge is flexible and comfortable. You will be shifting between sunny warmth, chilly nights, and possible light trekking. This is what we suggest:

Basic medications and individual first-aid items
Swimsuit for the infinity pool or waterfalls
Camera or mobile phone, you’ll want to photograph everything
Cultural Tips for Visiting Thai Villages
One of the highlights of the Pu Luong tours is being able to meet the local Thai communities. To have a positive and respectful cultural interchange, consider the following:
Greet with a smile and a gentle nodding of one’s head, a simple action that is much appreciated in Vietnamese and Thai culture.
Dress modestly, particularly before entering houses or taking part in community activities. Avoid shorts or low-neck tops within villages.
Please remove your shoes before entering anyone’s home.
Ask first before photographing locals, particularly children and elderly people. They will generally be glad to pose for you, but will value your politeness.
Be friendly and curious. Try out a few phrases of Vietnamese or Thailand, and don’t mind taking a cup of tea or a sip of rice wine, it is hospitality of the warm sort.

I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
