No Experience Required

Mist rises off terraces as your minivan winds into Pu Luong Nature Reserve—green folds of rice paddies and limestone outcrops pushing up like teeth from the valley. On day one the trail unfurls through village lanes and stilt houses; voices of children and the low bell of a water buffalo mark your progress. By afternoon you can trade the hike for the resort pool and a quiet sunset over cultivated hills.
