Around a four hour drive from Hanoi lies the Pu Luong Nature Reserve. Tucked away on a hillside with stunning panoramic views of the area, the Pu Luong Retreat provides a refreshing escape from the crowds. Surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges, stunning rice terrace fields, scenic rivers and waterfalls, breath-taking mountain passes and remote traditional villages, Pu Luong is truly a microcosm of Northern Vietnam. The Retreat has a collection of comfortable rooms and bungalows spread across the hillside, all with excellent views. It also has an open-air restaurant serving good local cuisine, two outdoor swimming pools, and a spa area. The retreat can arrange a wide range of activities for guests including cycling, trekking and rafting, but it is also a great place just to kick back and relax.
