3 days.
Good general fitness; regular walkers who handle 8–15 km with some climbs will be comfortable
Days range from easy cultural walks (~5 km) to a long inland trek (up to ~15 km) with cumulative ascents up to ~500–600 m on the hardest day.
Swimming is seasonal—safe in dryer months when flow is moderate; after heavy rain currents and rocks make swimming risky and some areas may be closed.
Two nights are at local eco-lodges or similar guesthouses (Pu Luong Eco Garden or comparable), plus homestay-style lunches with ethnic Thai families.
Tours include a local driver/guide and park access; independent visitors should check reserve rules and hire local guides for navigation and cultural respect.
