Mai Chau Pu Luong Trekking 5 days 4 nights

Mai Chau Pu Luong is not only the highest mountain of this Nature Reserve, but of the entire province Thanh Hoa. This remote and beautiful area even witnessed the war with France, when the french army build an airbase near Pù Luông mountain, to control the by then only road to Dien Bien Phu (where the final battle took place in 1954). This road, 15 C, cuts right through the nature reserve and there it is where the steep rice terraces and traditional villages of Thai and Muong minorities meet with the wild limestone range of Pu Luong – the most important lowland karts system in the north of Vietnam.
