Central Annam Vietnam Bird Watching Tour 11 Days

Embark on an unparalleled 11-day Central Annam Vietnam Bird Watching Tour with Golden Trail Travel, meticulously designed to unveil the rich and diverse avifauna of Vietnam's central region. This comprehensive itinerary takes you through a spectrum of habitats, from coastal forests to high-altitude montane rainforests, offering exceptional opportunities to spot numerous endemic and rare bird species, making it a dream expedition for any dedicated birder.

Your extraordinary journey begins on Day 1 as you arrive in Ho Chi Minh City, then connect to Da Nang City, a gateway to Central Vietnam's natural wonders. The adventure kicks off with immediate birding on the Son Tra Peninsula. This beautiful coastal area, often called "Monkey Mountain," is renowned for its diverse birdlife, including possibilities for species like the endemic Red-shanked Douc Langur and various forest birds, providing an excellent start to your Central Vietnam birding experience.

Days 2 to 5 see us traveling to and dedicating extensive time in Mang Den, a rapidly developing yet still wild highland area in Kon Tum Province. Mang Den is a crucial site within the Kon Tum Plateau Endemic Bird Area (EBA) and is a hotspot for several highly sought-after species. For three full days (Day 3, 4, 5), we will explore the pristine forests and various habitats around Mang Den and Mang Canh, targeting iconic endemics such as the Chestnut-eared Laughingthrush, along with other regional specialties like Blue Pitta, Black-hooded Laughingthrush, Coral-billed Scimitar-Babbler, and Yellow-billed Nuthatch. Our expert local guides will lead you to the best birding trails and hides, maximizing your chances for unforgettable sightings and fantastic photographic opportunities.

On Day 6, we transition from Mang Den to Tu Mo Rong, a lesser-known but equally significant birding destination in the Central Highlands. Tu Mo Rong offers access to different altitudinal zones, expanding the range of species we might encounter. Day 7 is a full day dedicated to exploring the unique forests and landscapes of Tu Mo Rong, where we'll search for other highland specialties that thrive in this rugged terrain. This off-the-beaten-path location provides a more secluded and authentic Vietnam bird watching experience.

The latter part of our tour takes us to the iconic Bach Ma National Park on Day 8. Situated in the Annamite mountain range, Bach Ma is celebrated for its incredible biodiversity and its role as a crucial sanctuary for a wide array of bird species, including several pheasants and galliformes. Days 9 and 10 are dedicated to in-depth exploration of Bach Ma's diverse trails and elevations. Here, we'll actively seek out species like the Rufous-throated Partridge, Silver Pheasant, Crested Argus, Red-collared Woodpecker, Ratchet-tailed Treepie, and various pittas and broadbills. The park's well-maintained trails and lush forests provide excellent viewing conditions for a truly rewarding Bach Ma birding experience.

Finally, on Day 11, we conclude our remarkable Central Annam birding adventure. After some final morning birding opportunities in Bach Ma, we transfer back to Da Nang for your flight back to Ho Chi Minh City airport, ensuring a smooth connection for your international departure.
