Permission
: As a tourism site, all Vietnamese and foreign

which is within the national park. No guides or
checklists are available.
Birding routes
:
The route from Tam Dao town, which lies within
the national park, to Rung Rinh has long been
the favoured birding route (known as the
'Contour Trail' or 'Water Tank Trail') but is
currently being upgraded into a road.
Short-tailed Parrotbill and Blue-naped Pitta
used to be seen along this route but is unclear
whether this will continue to be the case, after
the road construction is completed.
Television Tower Trail:
Walking up the 500 or so steps to the television
tower above Tam Dao town, birders may encounter
Grey Laughingthrush, Chestnut Bulbul, and, if
they are fortunate, Green Cochoa. Be warned:
this trail becomes very crowded with noisy
students on weekends.
The route to Nung village from behind the park
headquarters is a good walk through forest,
which may yield Ratchet-tailed Treepie and
Black-throated Laughingthrush. Note that
permission is required from the national park to
walk this route.
Other small trails around the foot of the
mountain and along the road to Tam Dao town can
turn up Spot-necked Babbler.
