Day 1: Pheasant Trail and Five lake trail
Arrive at the foot of Bach Ma around 8:30, our special birder guide will welcome you and brief the itinerary for the next 2 days. The trip will start after a pleasant stop to watch the Brown Fish-owl nest on one of the main entrance pillars.
Drive 8 km to start our first day with 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 guest house where we will spend our night.
In the afternoon, we discover the Five Lake trail. Visitors can swim and relax in this area, and spot the Slaty-backed Forktail bird.
We will have a quiet dinner in the summit area before retiring for the night. (L, D)
Day 2: Natural Explanation Trail
An early morning schedule is the best for birders. Have breakfast around 5:30 at the restaurant, we will start our day around 6:30 up to Summit trail, followed by the Natural Exploration trail.
Once you reach the summit you can see a marvelous panoramic view of the ocean, the tropical and sub tropical evergreen moosoon forest. We then follow the Summit Trail, looping back to the restaurant through secondary forest via the orchid garden along the Natural Explanation Trail. Look out for the Short-tailed Scimitar-babbler, Red-collared Woodpecker, Silver Pheasant, Rufous throated Patridge and Blue-rumped Pitta.
In the afternoon we will say goodbye to our guide and Bach Ma National Park to make our way down hill. (B, L)
