  • Timing and strategy

The cool broadleaved forest at Wamrong is an excellent area for birding. The star attractions from the area include Blyth's, Temminck's and Satyr Tragopans and many more commoner species. The altitude ranges from 2000m - 3200m. The best time to visit the area is during April and May when the tragopans are breeding. The walk from the road to the Tragopan site will take you approximately 2 hours. 
There are no accommodations available in the area so you will have to prepare for basic camping  with food for a night or two. Arrange your visit with a local travel agent (see "Local guides").

Give recommendations for making your visit as productive as possible.
This may include for instance:
• best season
• best time of the day
• how much time to spend at the site
• best means of locomotion within the site
• recommended routes / areas within the site
• guiding
