Mountain Biking Across Bhutan -14 Days
On your mountain bike you embark on the
adrenaline-fueled explorations of Bhutan's inaccessible routes from West
to East. The kick starts from Paro following a single
paved road that meets up further with steep, narrow, rocky and muddy
paths through several alpine passes, or extreme washboard caused by
cattle or yak. Crossing by a total of seven undulating mountain passes,
you make several ascents and descents stretching before you a real
picture of Bhutanese Lifestyle. From Thimpu to the Indian border post at
Samdrup Jongkhar, you get to experience Bhutan up close and personal on
a mountain bike.
