Pu Luong – Mai Chau Tour

Our Pu Luong – Mai Chau tour is the perfect opportunity to visit another highlight of Northern Vietnam while staying in the stunning Pu Luong Nature Reserve . You will find in this article, the different ways to organize the tour and collect some information about the lovely Mai Chau valley.

While before tourists used to take a day from Mai Chau to visit Pu Luong, the beauty of the Reserve has attracted more people and it has become more popular to set the basement in Pu Luong and make a day trip to Mai Chau. The distance between both is only 40km which makes it easy to do even for a day trip.

In our Pu Luong travel guide , you already have all the information to plan your stay in the Reserve. Now, let’s get an overview of the different tourism components of Mai Chau valley.

MAI CHAU TRAVEL GUIDE

Mai Chau is originally a small town at approximately 150km from Hanoi center in Hoa Binh province. The area is not really famous for the town itself but more for the beautiful valley close by surrounded by a mountain range. There are three main villages in the valley which are Ban Lac 1 and 2 and Pom Coong inhabited by the Thai minority group.

What to do in Mai Chau

  • Take cycling tour or electric car tour
  • Trekking in remote areas in the middle of rice fields
  • Learn about handicraft as sewing with traditional tools
  • Farming (planting rice, harvesting, plowing) depending on season
  • Kayak on Black river, swim in Go Lao waterfall
  • Exploring remote villages like Ban Buoc, Mai Ich
  • Visit the 1000-step cave or Mo Luong cave
  • Visit the daily Mai Chau market
  • Taste some local specialties as the sticky rice cooked in bamboo

As you can see, the valley of Mai Chau abounds of things to do and will satisfy every kind of travelers.

Moreover, if you decide to take a multi-days Pu Luong – Mai Chau tour, you will have a large selection of accommodations. From the traditional homestay in stilt house to luxury bungalows in an ecolodge passing by middle range ones bordering the rice fields, options are many.

When to come to Mai Chau

As it is in a valley and not in altitude, all year long is good to visit the area. Some days can be pretty cold in winter and pretty hot in summer. So, let’s organize this category depending on the rice season.

There are two harvests in Mai Chau, that is the benefit of the flat lands compared to the high mountains of the North (only Pu Luong has mountains with two harvests a year) .

Actually, the rice fields will be green from April to mid-June and from August to October. Wonderful time to visit the area to see the different shades of green coming from either the rice fields, the jungle and the forest.

The yellow rice fields (named as the golden season) appear before the harvesting time at the end of June and October. Also, the time to harvest manually creating a fantastic painting with all the farmers collaborating to collect the rice in time.

Before the green rice fields, it is time to plant the rice in the mirror field (when they are filled with water) in February and July. If you visit at that time, experiencing to plant the rice with the farmers will be an unforgettable memory.

TIPS: The best season is in October when the rice fields are yellow and the weather is very pleasant. Between 25 to 30° in daytime with cool evening and almost no rainfall. Perfect time to combine a Pu Luong – Mai Chau tour as the rice paddies will also turn yellow in Pu Luong Nature Reserve .

Where to stay in Mai Chau

Our recommendations:

  • Little Mai Chau

In the heart of the valley, basic dormitory and private room but excellent customer service by friendly hosts.

  • Lim’s House

Located in a small alley in the village, the owner Hanh and her mother ensure a warm and friendly welcome. They are Thai and can share many information. The private rooms are cozy and well decorated.

  • Mai Chau Valley View

On the main street, the hotel offers well equipped rooms with balcony overviewing the valley and the rice fields.

  • Mai Chau Sunrise Village

Inside the valley, easy to recognize the yellow bungalows. Full equipped rooms and perfect location for this 3* hotel.

  • Mai Chau Hideaway

If you are looking for a more intimate and quieter place, this hotel is for you. Overviewing the lake, the comfortable rooms offer all amenities you need. Plenty of local activities from cycling to kayaking.

  • Mai Chau Ecolodge

The most luxury option if you want to stay in the valley. Swimming pool, private bungalows decorated with local and natural element. A perfect place to chill after a day out visiting.

  • Avana Retreat

30mn away from Mai Chau, this 5 star hotel is one of the most impressive of Vietnam. If you have the chance to stay there, it could be one of the highlights of your trip in Vietnam. Private bungalow in H’Mong style, waterfall, organic food, the wellness at its best!

Why’s Pu Luong – Mai Chau Tour

As mentioned previously, it is a much more enjoyable basement in Pu Luong. Quieter and offering mountainous landscapes, waking up and enjoying your coffee on your balcony has nothing comparable. Moreover, Pu Luong remains more authentic as it has developed only recently.

But the Mai Chau valley deserves an exploration. Landscapes are totally different and the mountains around provides a very special atmosphere. Also, the road between both places is the opportunity to contemplate stunning views on the way. The distance is only 40km and can be done within one hour only.

We recommend to spend more times in Pu Luong but we have designed some Pu Luong – Mai Chau tour to allow tourists to discover more places in a short time.

Full day Pu Luong – Mai Chau tour

You have two options to reach the valley of Mai Chau from Pu Luong. You can choose the car option if you are not a rider. The best way is the second one as to ride your motorbike. You can have our motorbike selection in our article Pu Luong motorbike tour here.

Starting in the early morning, after having stored enough energy with a delicious breakfast, you will take the direction of Mai Chau. Passing by the main road, many view points will offer fantastic oportunities for photo shoots. The road is in good condition and riding a bike is pretty easy (be careful in rainy days as it is steep) . One hour later, you will enter the valley.

If you come by car, you will stop and jump on a bicycle to start a tour in the valley. You will visit the local villages, see the farmers working in the fields (you can join them to experience) , learn about the traditional sewing way. It is also your chance to buy some handmade souvenirs in one of the stores in Ban Lac village.

After a local lunch, start a trekking in the rice fields in a more remote area. Immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of the place. It is an easy trekking that doesn’t require excellent physical conditions and accessible to everybody. For the tourist willing to have an overview of the valley, it is possible to walk to the 1000-step cave. If the cave is not extremely interesting, the point of view from the top worth it.

By Motorbike, you will have more flexibility to ride in the valley and time to explore deeper the area, like riding along the Black river or to another village as Mai Ich to discover a less touristic village.

2 days Pu Luong – Mai Chau tour

If you don’t have too much time, this tour will be perfect. Starting from Hanoi in the morning and arriving in Pu Luong Nature Reserve for lunch, you will go around to visit the Reserve the whole afternoon. After some activities as trekking in beautiful rice fields, hunting the bamboo waterwheels, riding a bamboo rafting or exploring the biggest cave of the Reserve, you will enjoy a perfect relaxing evening on your balcony to admire the fabulous landscapes.

Next morning and after a tasty breakfast, departure in direction of the valley of Mai Chau, by car or motorbike. You can refer to the section “full day Pu Luong – Mai Chau tour” above to see the details. Then, upon your request and your travel itinerary, you will come back to Pu Luong or we will book a shuttle bus to Hanoi .

Other option if you want to focus on this wonderful area that is Pu Luong and Mai Chau, you can start from Pu Luong to spend two full days in Mai Chau. In this case, whether you go by car or motorbike, you will have plenty of time to experience many activities. You will first have an overview of the valley with the bicycle tour. It is a very classic tour but it remains the best to go around. The land is flat and it’s better to go slowly and safely while contemplating the local life.

After a local lunch, time for a trekking in the rice fields. Depending on the season and the activities of the farmers at this time, you will be invited to join them to immerse yourself in the Thai minority lifestyle.

For the overnight, you will have the choice between a traditional homestay, a middle range bungalow or a luxury one in a 5 star ecolodge.

The next day, back to some exciting activities. We will take you to remote villages to learn deeper about traditions of the Thai Minority. Walk in the village, share time with local in their house while drinking a cup of tea, enjoy lunch with them, a morning very pleasant where you will feel more the spirit of Vietnam countryside. Afternoon, stop at the Go Lao waterfall and enjoy a refreshing swim in this impressive natural jacuzzi. To end the tour, get on a kayak to float on the calm and emerald water of the Black river. After this great experience, you will board the car or the bike to come back to Pu Luong Nature Reserve or stop at Mai Chau if you need to go back to Hanoi.

The Ultimate Guide To Mai Chau and Pu Luong

Why did we group these 2 locations into 1 ultimate guide? They are separated only by 50 km (31 miles), by mountain ranges, terrace rice paddies and trekking paths. And how far are they from the capital, Hanoi? Approximately 140 km (87 miles), about a 4h drive southwest from it.

In this guide, we will present to you the beautiful green hilly areas of Mai Chau (formerly called Muong Mai) and Pu Luong. Both Mai Chau Valley and Pu Luong Nature Reserve are located in the North, a world away from the city hustle and are still less discovered than famous Sapa. Mai Chau is even nicknamed the “hidden sister” of Sapa. It has similar qualities, is closer to Hanoi and after the rice is harvested in Sapa there is still plenty to see in Mai Chau.

Both Mai Chau and Pu Luong are equally beautiful and might steal your heart. However, this is the only thing you should worry about because, with our guide, you will know how to go there, what to do and eat.

So now, get some rural Spotify soundtrack ready, because Spot On Vietnam blog, operated by Hanoi Voyages travel agency , is taking you off-the-beaten-path to the land of stunning landscapes, stilt houses, traditional weaving and brocade, fresh air, butterflies and warm people from ethnic minorities.

Mai Chau and Pu Luong location on the map of Vietnam

When to visit Mai Chau and Pu Luong?

Mai Chau is located in Hoa Binh province, while Pu Luong only borders it and is situated in Quan Hóa and Bá Thước district of Thanh Hóa Province. However, the tropical monsoon climate in both places is affected by mountain ridges. In July temperatures reach 30°C (86°F) in July and a minimum of 14°C (57°F) in January.

Mai Chau Pu Luong Average Temperatures Graphic

Best time to visit: In our opinion, the best time to visit is when the weather is dry and there is a light breeze, from September to May. Moreover, you can see the rice turn from green to yellow in September, which is a sign for locals: “time to harvest!”.

February to May and September to November are great months to go trekking or cycling in Mai Chau and Pu Luong. Weather from October to November and February to May is still ok, just a tiny bit colder than previously mentioned period.

June to September is hotter but also more humid, you can expect rainfall, sometimes floods and temperatures of 25°C (77°F) to 35°C (95°F).

From November to the end of February it can get chilly and it is the least popular period to visit with temperatures around 14 (57°F) -16°C (60°F)

Generally speaking, the best time to visit both locations falls between these highs and lows. However, as an old Scandinavian saying goes: “there’s no bad weather, just bad clothing”

How to get there?

So now you have an idea about when to go. But how to get there? As we said, both places are about 4-5h ride from Hanoi, depending on the traffic. With that being said, if you head here, you can choose from:

… which is the cheapest way. Tickets go for about 8 – 13 dollars and buses depart either from the centre (Hoan Kiem area) or from My Dinh bus station. You can look for tickets on websites such as Baolau .

Private car or a minivan

Some companies leave straight from the Noi Bai Airport and some that leave from Old Quarter or can pick you up at your hotel. The price depends on if you book a car or a van for four, eight or twelve people. Price for a 4-seater is around 100-150 dollars

Motorbike is a good way to go there and enjoy the scenery if you are an experienced driver and have insurance (better safe than sorry, right?) The best thing is that you can also make stops on the way. A popular stop on the way to Mai Chau is Hoa Binh Lake. If you pick this way of transport, bike rental costs about 12-17 dollars a day. In case you are “in for a long run”, you can also buy a bike, travel through Vietnam and then easily sell it. Price for a Honda is about 400-500 dollars, the price for a Minsk varies from 100-300 dollars. We recommend you to check a blog called ‘Vietnam Coracle’ that offers first-hand tips for bikers

If you plan on trekking too, the best is to hire a local travel guide or a local agency specialising in tailor-made trips, that will plan everything for you, from transport to accommodation. You can check a sample itinerary including Mai Chau and Pu Luong here .

BONUS: Have you binh? If you are visiting Ninh Binh as well, there is a bus connection. By connecting 3 of them – Ninh Binh, Pu Luong, and Mai Chau you will get the full natural experience. We recommend asking your hotel for a timetable, though. Mai Chau and Pu Luong areas are still developing and there are not that many connections as Sapa for instance, so better plan ahead.

How to get around?

Get a bike or get a guide.

To be honest, this is the area where you can turn your mind and phone off and just walk around. This is the best way to explore those places. However, if you want to do more trekking than morning yoga and just chilling and sampling the food, and you won’t hire a guide, you will literally end up walking around between the villages, without “diving deeper.” There are many guides out there, we recommend checking Tripadvisor forums for recommendations or Facebook travel groups. Or just contact a local agency that has a long-lasting relationship with reputable drivers and guides and you will be all set. If you arrive on a bike, you can discover Mai Chau and Pu Luong that way too. Again, we recommend using the ‘ Vietnam Coracle’ blog as a reference.

What to see in Mai Chau and Pu Luong?

1. all things nature.

The pace of living is much slower here. Bike, walk or trek along Mai Chau’s or Pu Luong’s dirt roads and get amazed by the scenery changes, from villages with stilt houses, lush rice paddies, to the jungle, and caves. And in Pu Luong Nature reserve (Khu bảo tồn Thiên nhiên Pù Luông), do not miss out on water wheels. This non-electrical invention made out of bamboo brings life to rice fields (rice grown here needs to be submerged under the water) and makes them amazingly green.

Mai Chau rice paddies and mountain view

2. Flora and fauna

For example, we recommend tea plantations and fruit trees in and around Moc Chau town, located about 40 km from Mai Chau. Spring is your go-to time. If you will find yourself here between March and April, the Hoa Ban flower (Bauhinia variegata) – a typical tree of Northwest Vietnam, usually blooms. And in the winter, the town of Mai Chau is surrounded by blooming peach trees and marigold and mustard flowers. Look them up.

Mai Chau flowers

3. Authentic stilt houses and homestays

Never stayed in a setting like this? Worry not. Stay in these wooden buildings on stilts, in rooms with reed mattings, dreaming on a thin futon. All safe and comfy and most importantly, authentic. Due to the house being on stilts – fresh breeze comes in and in the rainy season, there is no risk of flooding. Mosquito nets, double futons (mattresses) for couples, tasty home-made food are available everywhere. But bring mosquito repellent, if they are attracted to you. Most of the places already have western toilets as well. There is no AC, duh, but you will have at least one or two fans so all will be… FANtastic.

Mai Chau typical stilt houses

4. Ethnic minorities

Mai Chau district has about 50 000 inhabitants, including seven ethnic minority groups — the Thai, Hmong, Zao (Dao), Muong, Tay, Hoa and Viet. Thai (referred to as White and Black Thai) ethnic people occupy the majority. But with any ethnic, and especially their traditional dresses, crafts and dishes are a must-see and try. On Sunday, you can visit Mai Châu town’s morning market and see them dressed in their finest traditional clothing. You can also witness folk games, weaving, and dances (look for Xoe performances). If you will fall in love with it all, we recommend Pom Coong village (Pom means hill and Coong is the drum) or one of the festivals: Xen Muong Festival (in August), Cau Mua (April), Xen Xo Phon Festival (April/May), Xec Bua Festival (in Spring, during Tet)… The exact dates depend on the Lunar calendar. Feel free to contact us for details!

Mai Chau Xen Xo Phon festival

5. Traditional weaving and silk brocade making

Both Lac 1 and Poom Coong villages of Mai Chau are overflowing with shops selling textiles, paintings… Many of the goods are shipped in from China, but some of the textiles are made on-site and you can watch the locals weaving a scarf or a textile using a loom at some of the outlets. We recommend Ban Lac 2 and visit Hoa Ban+ shop. Hoa Ban+ is a social enterprise providing vocational training facilities and job creation for the disabled. Many people say that the Lac village is a tourist centre of Mai Chau district so do not miss it. We also recommend Pa Co Market, full of Hmong culture, lying between Mai Chau and Moc Chau, happening on Sunday mornings. TIP: As there is a loom in each family in Mai Chau, we especially recommend these hand-made products, if you contemplate buying a souvenir because you will support the local community at the same time.

Mai Chau Silk making and weaving

6. Local markets

Sunday morning, wakey wakey eggs and bakey or… wakey wakey rise (or rice) and shine! See points 4 and 5.

Mai Chau Women on a local market

7. Thung Khe Pass

Also called White Stone Pass, it might look dangerous but it is very beautiful. It is located at Highway 6, Hoa Binh province, between Tan Lac and Mai Chau, with the peak at about 1000 meters above sea level. You will have Mai Chau valley at your feet. It is also a great place to stop for a break, breathe in some fresh air, buy snacks or souvenirs and snap a picture.

Mai Chau Thung Khe Pass

8. Village life

Want some action after hiking and breathing deep on a hike? Ethnic White Thai villages are a short walk from Mai Chau town: Ban Poom Coong, Ban Lac 1 and Ban Lac 2. Ban Lac 1 is the most developed, with more gift shops and a busier nightlife. Pu Luong is still calmer, so in case you are not into souvenirs, stay there for more calm breathing and relaxation 🙂

Mai Chau Ban Lac traditional Village

9. Gò Lào Waterfall & more

Go Lao (or Go Mu) is located about 15 km from Mai Chau town. You can also visit Mo Luong Cave inside the Phu Ka Mountain or Chieu Cave. The entrance is quite magical, beside the ancient giant Xa Pung tree. There is always something to see in Hoa Binh province! Black River (Da river) is close too, so haggle with locals if you are up for a boat trip. It is also dammed and this dam is the biggest reservoir in Vietnam.

10. Doi Cave (Bat Cave)

The largest cave in Pu Luong. It is located in Kho Muong village and there is a min. 5 species of bats living there. However, there are several caves in the area, if you are into this, ask your guide.

What to do in Mai Chau and Pu Luong?

Mai Chau scenery with animals

1. Trekking

As mentioned, to dive deep into the wilderness and explore, trekking is the best. There are several routes and levels. Consult a travel agent, your accommodation or a guide. Most popular routes cover Mai Chau, Lac Village, Na Phon Village or Pom Coong village. If you have more than 3 days, you can move from Mai Chau valley to Pu Luong and this way you will see both Thanh Hoa province and Hoa Binh province. And if you fell in love, continue to Cuc Phuong National park, which is already located in a different province – Ninh Binh province. Find out more about Ninh Binh, called Halong Bay on land .

Mai Chau Trekking

2.   Cycling

Discover one of the most beautiful countrysides of Vietnam on two wheels, ecologically. Pedal around rice fields, limestone mountains, rugged scenery, farms, houses of locals, ponds with fish.

3. Wining and dining with a local family

But be careful with the rice wine 🙂 From more exotic deep-fried cicadas to typical chicken or pork with rice, your tummy will be happy. Read more on what to try in Mai Chau and Pu Luong in the following section.

Mai Chau Family Table

As the famous saying says, only boring people are bored. There are many things to do and see, depending on your taste and time. But there is one thing every visitor does to protect and develop this beautiful place: See some trash? Pick it up. Take only pictures, leave only footprints. Respect the culture and nature. And make memories. See a smiling local? Does not matter if they do not speak English or only partially. Smile, try to say “Xin Chào” and enjoy your stay here. However, as a courtesy, always ask for permission or a smiley nod before taking a portrait pic of someone.

What to eat in Mai Chau and Pu Luong?

1. crickets or cicadas (ve sầu chiên).

Let’s start off with something unusual and crunchy, shall we? At some homestays, you can snack on these crispy, fried bugs.

Try cicadas in Mai Chau

The most famous being Ga Doi. The chicken here are not as big as the normal chicken (max 1 kg), one would even say they are quite athletic as they run up and down the hill all the time but that makes the meat firm and delicious. And also as organic as it gets. We highly recommend the chicken legs. They are usually prepared on charcoal and have a natural earthy mouthwatering taste.

Mai Chau Chicken

If you want to try something new, Muong people cook buffalo too, usually with the “lom” leaves. Look up “Thit Trâu Lá Lồm”, however, it is only made on special occasions or festivals, Tet (New Year) or sold to visitors as gifts.

Buffalo dish in Mai Chau

Also cooked slowly and on the charcoal, you will love it. Look up a dish called “cham cheo”. Most of the pork here comes from Muong pigs, also called “Mán” pigs, a very special type of pigs in Vietnam – long body, thin legs, small ears, long and hard hair. Kind of a boar but it is not. And it is definitely not bo(a)ring. Apart from bbq, pork can be boiled or pickled as well. If you would like to try the pickled one, it is called “Thịt Lợn Muối Chua”

Mai Chau Cham Cheo Pork Dish

5. Mai Chau glutinous rice

This is more of a festive dish but you might be lucky to find it. After 4-5 hours or rice being soaked (so it softens) and drained, it is boiled in a pot. You can even get it in 5 colours, just look for Xôi Ngũ Sắc. Green, yellow, white, orange, and black – you will want to come back 🙂

Mai Chau glutinous rice in five colours

6. Bamboo shoots

Fried, boiled, stewed or grilled, shoot it in your mouth. There is even a speciality dish- Stir-Fried Wild Bees With Bamboo Shoots. Yes, bees. Do not “bee” afraid to try it!

Try bamboo shoots when visiting Mai Chau or Pu Luong

7. Sour meat (Thịt ướp chua)

Sour marinated meat is a delicacy here. Pork or buffalo are mixed with galangal (sometimes mistaken for ginger)

One of Mai Chau dishes: sour meat

8. Rice wine (“Rượu”) or Can wine (“Rượu Cần”) 

First one you can get everywhere in Vietnam. But the latter is special for this part and kind of festive and a special drink. It is made from grains such as cassava, seeds, glutinous rice, and nuts. After adding herbs, ginger, fruits and many types of forest leaves it is put into a pot or jar and left to ferment, the longer the better. Fun fact: no cups or bowls are used to drink it, but one-meter-long bamboo sticks pierced through the intestine and bent into the wine bottle. An unusual experience, right?

Mai Chau can wine

9. Loong Soup

A unique dish of Muong people is made from the wild banana tree, boiled meat water, bones and “lốt” leaf and crushed Doi nuts.

Loong soup from Mai Chau area

10. Rice cooked in bamboo – Com Lam

We decided to end our list with a signature dish of Mai Chau. What are the spices and flavour like? Usual seasoning is salt, sesame, and peanuts. Since it is wrapped in a banana leaf and bamboo and cooked over charcoal, you can also feel that. It can be eaten hot, or cold. Just break the bamboo cover and enjoy the sweet-smelling rice, hot or cold.

So… ready to head to the land of silk, ethnic minorities, yellow and green rice paddies, mountains covered in mysterious fog and authentic Thai homestays?

Trekking in Mai Chau & Pu Luong – 4 tips & best locations

How to arrange your trekking in mai chau.

As mentioned, trekking in Mai Chau is not the first choice of most travelers. There are a lot better places to go trekking in Vietnam. That being said, there are some options. You can arrange a guide at your accommodation in Mai Chau that can show you around. You can also choose to go trekking yourself between the villages in the valley. The roads are small and besides of a buffalo on the road or a villager passing by with his scooter, there is no traffic. While walking you can enjoy great views over the rice fields and explore the villages of the Thai etnic minorities that live in stilt houses.

Trekking in Pu Luong Nature Reserve

If you want to go trekking close to Mai Chau, your best option is in Pu Luong Nature Reserve . It is here where you can find stunning rice field terraces, with mountains on the background and small villages dotted along the valley floor. There are only 2 roads through Pu Luong that you can drive on with a car or motorcycle. For this reason, it is not only the perfect place for a trekking, but also the best way and one of the only ways to explore this area.

Rice terraces in Pu Luong

During the trekking in Pu Luong you walk between some of the best rice fields in Vietnam and visit some local villages where you can learn more about the life of the Thai Ethnic minorities, who live in stilt houses. Get closer to the river where you can the water wheels that collect water from the river to irrigate the higher lying rice fields.

trekking in Pu Luong

Tip! How to arrange your trekking in Pu Luong

If you want to go trekking in Pu Luong Nature Reserve, you can arrange this at your accommodation in Mai Chau or in Pu Luong. But, because Pu Luong is hard to reach, it is best to book this in a package starting from Hanoi. This include your transfer to Pu Luong (you can combine it with a visit to Mai Chau), your accommodation and a trekking tour. Local Vietnam has a unique Mai Chau & Pu Luong Nature Reserve the lodge experience , start from Hanoi and the option to do this in either 3 or 4 days.

What to bring

Unlike trekking in Sapa , you usually don’t walk for more than a day or half day and return to your accommodation after the hike. When you go with a guide, they will provide lunch and drinks. However, it is useful to bring some extra drinks and possibly a snack.

In addition, you make sure you have good walking shoes and light clothing. In winter it can be a bit colder, but never wear warm clothes when you go for a walk. It is better to wear thin clothing with extra layers that you can easily take off if it gets too hot from walking. Also a rain jacket can be wise to bring with you.

Best time to go trekking

The best time to go trekking in Mai Chau is when the rice fields are nice and green, from April untill the end of june. These months are also before the rainy season. The the rice will be sown again in July and harvested in October. So, from August to October, it is also a good time to walk through the rice fields of Mai Chau.

The best time to go trekking in Pu Luong is from September to November or February until May. This time, the plantations are green and the weather is nice.

If you are not interested to go trekking in Mai Chau or Pu Luong, you can enjoy some great alternatives.

The most popular way to discover the area is to go cycling in Mai Chau . The roads are flat and there is hardly any traffic when you are biking through the rice fields. Because Mai Chau is one of the top cycling spots in Vietnam , almost any resort and homestay has free bicycles to rent.

If you want to go further, to the nearby waterfall and the Thung Khe pass with the macnificent viewpoint of the Mai Chau valley, it is best to rent a motorbike / scooter. You can rent one from 100,000 VND a day. As an alternative you can also go by car with private driver.

Trekking in Pu Luong is highly recommended, but if you prefer not to, you can also choose to go by motorbike. The roads are not too bad, but if you don’t have any experience or confidence, it is not smart to drive yourself. Most local homestays offer you to go on the back of a motorbike with a guide. You can also co by car with driver, but because the area is not that big, you might want to consider another destination if you don;t want to go trekking in Pu Luong Nature Reserve. Better destinations to discover by car are Sapa , Cao Bang and Ha Giang .

Mai Chau in Hoa Binh province is the heart of a beautiful Northern valley that is a world away from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi. The modern village is an unappealing sprawl, but as you emerge on the rice fields and rural living, it is transformed into a real stunning natural paradise with a mosaic of rice fields, bamboo groves, and scattered settlements of ethnic White Thai people.

Also, traveling to Pu Luong Nature Reserve in Thanh Hoa province is perfect for the nature lovers wishing to escape the bustle of city life and see imposing mountain ranges, intact rivers and waterfalls, poetic villages, and immense valleys of beautiful terraced rice fields. Plus, a tour of a less-visited place like Pu Luong on tours of Vietnam makes it possible to get off-the-beaten-path and appreciate the isolated life and taste the local cuisine.
