Bhutan’s mountainous terrains
offer a fascinating adventure for bicycling enthusiasts.
The route along Bhutan’s west – east highway
(approx. 600 kms) is an exciting route with challenges
of surmounting a new pass over 3000meters everyday.
The highways winding up and down with drops of thousands
of feet keep one too high on adrenaline to feel the
slightest pinch of monotony.
As one progresses along the route, there is a discernible
change in the flora and temperature when one gradually
descends from the alpine heights into the temperate
regions of Punakha, Wangdiphodrang, Mongar, Trashigang
and Samdrup Jongkhar. All along the route the interruption
by picturesque and almost medieval villages and towns
rich in cultural spots make a welcome diversion
