Vegetable Garden in Bam Village
The vegetable garden in Bam Village is an integral component of such Pu Luong Family Tours as it exhibits a serene atmosphere for tourists to stroll therein. In the quiet Bam Village, this widely spread garden covers all kinds of fertile lands where local farmers grow several kinds of vegetables. Tourists will come across mustard greens, cabbage, herbs, and root vegetables all grown organically. Traditional methods of farming include natural composting and crop rotation, which ensure that the land will remain sustainable and produce healthy, fresh vegetables.
Participating in daily farm activities at the Vegetable Garden at Bam Village is one of the most stimulating activities on any Pu Luong Family Tour visit. Here, participation for both adults and children is encouraged in seed planting, crop irrigation, and sometimes even harvesting vegetables with the locals. Here, it will give participants an in-depth look into traditional farming methods and have fun, which is an educationally disadvantaged experience for families. It is also a great way to teach kids about the life application of sustainability and the value of farm-to-table living.
The Vegetable Garden of Bam Village allows the realization of cultural exchange between visitors and local farmers, Thai, and Muong. Pu Luong Family Tours limit the association to farming in learning about traditions and stories passed down the generations. It widens the contact with the community, making the journey more personal and full of personal encounters rather than the usual tourist one. This is a very genuine way of experiencing regional culture and at the same time supports sustainable tourism.
At Pu Luong Family Tours, sustainability is included in every activity and tour. Once you have arrived at the stunning Pu Luong Nature Reserve, everything from pick up to drop off will be designed to help foster sustainable tourism even a guided visit to the Vegetable Garden in Bam Village. Because we encourage hands-on agricultural experiences such as planting and harvesting vegetables with the local farmers, we succeed in preserving traditional farming techniques while also ensuring less environmental impact brought about by tourism. These organic farming techniques maintain the health and productivity of the land for future generations.

It is not only a very much-needed form of income in Pu Luong, but such interest in tourism also preserves the cultural heritage of this region. By participating in daily life with local farmers and artisans, visitors contribute to and help keep very ancient traditions alive.
