Bamboo Rafting on the Cham River
Float through rice fields, jungle, and stilted villages on a traditional bamboo raft — one of Pu Luong's most memorable experiences.
Overview
Bamboo rafting on the Cham River is one of the most enjoyable activities in Pu Luong, offering a slow and peaceful way to move through the reserve’s landscape from water level. Rafts are made from thick bamboo poles lashed together, poled by local guides who navigate the gentle current past paddy fields, stilted villages, overhanging jungle, and the occasional water wheel.
