Biking / Motor Biking
Bhutan has immense areas of undisturbed nature and even cycling
along its "highways" one sees a lot of it.
The views are often stunning, but you are advised to stop before
you look.
The climate in large parts of the country is quite pleasant for
cycling, especially in spring and fall.
None of the main roads are very steep. The average percentage
seems to be around 7%, which is what overloaded Tata trucks can
manage.
Even on the highways there is little traffic, especially east of
Wangdi. Bhutanese on bikes
In the early 1990's bicycles were a rare sight in Bhutan, apart
from a few of the border towns. These days you come across
Bhutanese on bikes more regularly. And now there is even a
Bhutan Mountain Biking Club in the making.
Roads are a good way to start biking. Once you can manage the
roads all right you can promote yourself to the trails. Chances
of getting lost on roads are slim. Passing vehicles can
sometimes be convinced to give you a ride to the next town if
you are totally exhausted or if your bike has died.
Note: We do offer motor biking
tours too, we provide guide, fooding, lodging and others. You
will have to bring your own equipments, the bicycles, or the
motor cycles. For further information, please contact us.
