Venture into one of Pu Luong's most secluded and dramatic settings by visiting Kho Muong village, nestled deep within a stunning valley surrounded by towering limestone mountains. This remote village, primarily inhabited by the White Thai ethnic group, offers a glimpse into traditional life relatively untouched by mass tourism and serves as the gateway to the impressive Kho Muong Cave (Hang Dơi or Bat Cave).

Reaching Kho Muong typically requires trekking down scenic trails or navigating a challenging road by motorbike, adding to the sense of adventure. The village itself features traditional stilt houses set against a backdrop of rice paddies and sheer cliffs. Nearby lies the entrance to Kho Muong Cave, a large cavern system known for its impressive stalactite formations and, as the name suggests, resident bat population (best viewed respectfully from a distance).

Exploring Kho Muong village and its cave provides an off-the-beaten-path experience within Pu Luong Nature Reserve. It’s ideal for adventurous travelers interested in trekking, caving, and experiencing life in a remote mountain valley. Remember to bring a flashlight for the cave and arrange local guidance if needed for deeper exploration or trekking routes connecting to Kho Muong.
