Full Itinerary

Day 1: Pheasant Trail and Five-lake trail (L)

We depart our hotel from Danang, at around 8:30 we will arrive at the foot of Bach Ma where our special birder guide will welcome us and brief the itinerary for the next 2 days. The trip will be started after a pleasant stop to watch the Brown Fish-owl nest on one of the main entrance pillars.

Then we start our trek after a drive of 8 km to the Pheasant trail. The Pheasant Trail leads 2.5 km to the junction of two rivers where Blyth’s Kingfisher occurs and passes through. After 2 hours trekking we meet our driver again for an awesome drive up to 17 km where we have a sumptuous lunch and check-in to Do Quyen guesthouse where we will spend our night. In the afternoon, we discover the Five Lake trail. We can swim and relax in this area, and spot the Slaty-backed Fork tail bird. We will have a quiet dinner in the summit area before retiring for the night

Day 2: Natural Exploration Trail (B, L)

An early morning schedule is the best for birders. After an early breakfast at 5:30 at the restaurant, we will start our day around 6:30 up to Summit trail, followed by the Natural Exploration trail.

Once we reach the summit, we can see a marvelous panoramic view of the ocean, the tropical and sub tropical evergreen monsoon forest.
