1. Introduction to Pu Luong

Located in the northwest of Thanh Hoa Province, Pu Luong spans across Ba Thuoc and Quan Hoa districts. Known for its mountainous terrain, Pu Luong was designated as a Nature Reserve with a total area of 17,600 hectares and lush, dense vegetation.

Beyond its favorable geography, Pu Luong is blessed with tropical forests that remain green all year round and breathtaking terraced rice fields. Although it’s about 130km from Thanh Hoa City, the area attracts countless visitors annually with its unspoiled natural beauty and unique cultural experiences.

2. Best Time to Visit Pu Luong

  • Late May – Early June: This is when the rice terraces enter a new planting season, painting the region in a fresh, vibrant green.

  • September – October: Arguably the best time to visit, as the golden rice fields glow in the sun, turning the entire valley into a picturesque landscape. It’s the perfect time to witness Pu Luong’s natural richness at its peak.

3. Must-Visit Attractions in Pu Luong

3.1 Kho Muong Village

Tucked deep in the heart of the Pu Luong Nature Reserve, Kho Muong is a peaceful and untouched village. Despite being one of the more remote and underdeveloped villages in Ba Thuoc District, it holds great tourism potential.

With only about 60 Thai ethnic households, Kho Muong offers travelers a chance to learn about the unique highland cultures. From the village’s higher points, you can admire the patchwork of rice fields and cornfields stretching along the hillsides.

3.2 Hieu Waterfall

Located in Hieu Village, Co Lung Commune, Hieu Waterfall is one of Pu Luong’s most beautiful natural wonders. Its water originates from a massive limestone cave in the Pu Luong – Cuc Phuong karst ecosystem, giving the waterfall a year-round flow.

During heavy rains, the waterfall turns a milky white due to the dissolved limestone. Riding a motorbike here offers an unforgettable experience, with scenic views of terraced rice paddies lining both sides of the stream on the way from Canh Nang Town to Hieu Village.

3.3 Pu Luong Heaven Gate

In the Thai language, “Pu Luong” means “the highest peak in the region.” Standing at 1,700 meters above sea level, this mountain offers panoramic views of lush greenery stretching across the horizon.

As the name suggests, standing atop the peak lets you enjoy a spectacular view of nature, with floating white clouds that make you feel as if you’re in a heavenly realm.
