In the H’Mong language, “Pu Dao” means “highest point”. Standing on this peak, it feels as if you could touch the blue sky and blend into the ethereal clouds.

With its pristine nature, Pu Dao is the perfect destination for adventurous travelers. The trek to its summit starts from Nam Doong village and covers some 10km. Some parts are challenging as you must find your own way up and back. When the white turmeric is flowering, you can enjoy views of vast banks of pure white turmeric flowers basking in the sun and wind. The mountain’s green grassy slopes are dotted with buffaloes, cows, and horses, grazing leisurely as birds chirp. The route has many steep sections with high peaks and cliffs.

You may feel tired and hesitant, but eventually, Pu Dao Peak appears. The fresh air dispels all fatigue. The sun’s rays shine straight down on the river, which seems to flow endlessly down below. Clusters of fluffy clouds drift lazily, floating serenely over the mountains and hills. The trees and grass are lush, and the flowers and leaves exhibit vibrant colors. When viewed from above, the trail to the peak looks like a thin line across the old forest. The scattered villages play hide and seek, intermittently visible through patches of drifting fog and clouds.
