Overview

Embark on an enriching and highly rewarding 3-day Tram Chim National Park Bird Watching Tour with Golden Trail Travel, an expertly crafted expedition designed to immerse you in the incredible avian diversity of Vietnam's iconic Mekong Delta. This comprehensive tour, conveniently accessible from Ho Chi Minh City, plunges you into the vast and unique wetlands of Tram Chim National Park, a globally recognized Ramsar site and a crucial sanctuary for numerous waterbird species. It's the perfect adventure for avid birdwatchers, nature photographers, and anyone seeking a deep connection with Vietnam's stunning wetland heritage.

Your immersive birding adventure begins on Day 1 with a comfortable transfer from Ho Chi Minh City directly to Tram Chim National Park in Dong Thap Province. Upon arrival, you'll immediately be enveloped by the park's tranquil atmosphere, characterized by its expansive wetlands, cajuput forests, and intricate canal systems. Tram Chim is a living testament to the Mekong Delta's unique ecology, meticulously preserved to support a thriving ecosystem. The afternoon will be dedicated to initial exploration and birding sessions. Our expert local guides, who possess an intimate knowledge of Tram Chim's waterways and its specific avifauna, will lead you on serene boat trips through the channels, providing excellent opportunities to observe various egrets, herons, cormorants, and kingfishers.

Days 2 and 3 are dedicated to in-depth exploration and intensive birding within Tram Chim National Park. As a vital Ramsar site, Tram Chim is most famous as a crucial wintering ground for the magnificent and critically endangered Sarus Crane (seasonal, typically December to May). With the guidance of our experienced local experts, you'll systematically explore different sections of the park by boat and on foot (where accessible), maximizing your chances of encountering not only the iconic Sarus Crane but also a remarkable array of other wetland and grassland species. We will actively search for the Greater Painted-snipe, Asian Golden Weaver, Black-headed Ibis, Lesser Whistling-Duck, various raptors, and numerous other resident and migratory waterbirds, rails, and crakes. The vast open landscapes of the park, with its vibrant lotus fields and cajuput trees, provide unique photographic opportunities, capturing dynamic scenes of birds in their natural environment. Beyond birding, you'll gain insight into the park's impressive conservation efforts and the delicate balance of this unique ecosystem.

Finally, on the afternoon of Day 3, we conclude our remarkable Tram Chim National Park Bird Watching Tour. After some final morning birding opportunities or enjoying the serene natural environment, we transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City, ensuring a comfortable connection for your onward travel. This 3-day expedition with Golden Trail Travel provides an immersive, focused, and highly rewarding journey into the heart of the Mekong Delta's most celebrated wetland, promising an excellent species list and a wealth of cherished memories for every passionate birder and nature enthusias
