Birding Vietnam’s Highlands: Can We Spot 100 Species in DaLat?

Join me as I go birding in the bird rich DaLat Highlands of Vietnam. I'm searching for the incredible birds of Vietnam! This Vietnam travel adventure takes me through DaLat city and the surrounding highlands and unique landscapes. I share all my birding tips with you, highlighting Da Lat's wildlife and strange birds.

This birding adventure is perfect for any traveller to Vietnam who wants to pack in some birdwatching into their trip. I give you all the tips on what to bring, where to go and the birds you may see.

Follow me, my wife Sonya into the areas surrounding Da Lat, which is just a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City under the guidance of birding tour Quy (We).

We take off looking for all 12 of the DaLat endemic species and we see if we can find 100 different species of birds near DaLat.
