Asiatic Travels

Bhutan » Mountian Biking

The majority of Biking in Bhutan is on good paved roads with only a slight percentage on dirt roads and trails. There are some challenging climbs on easy angled switch-backs, mind blowing descents that last for hours and all of these through some of the most beautiful and unspoilt scenery in the world. As we traverses along this single track road, we accumulate a total of 15,000 meters of ascent and a mind-boggling 20,000 meters of descent, whilst crossing some major passes along the route.

As you progress along the route, there is a discernible change in the flora and temperature, when you gradually descends from the alpine heights into the temperate regions of Punakha, Wangdiphodrang, Mongar, Tashigang and Samdrup Jongkhar. All along the routes the interruption by picturesque and almost medieval villages and towns rich in cultural spots make a welcome diversion.
