We meet in Bangkok at the Novotel Airport Hotel for an orientation and bike check at 7.00pm today. We will go over packaging of your bike and sort out any gear problems you may have.
Depart from Bangkok this morning on the Druk Air flight to Paro, Bhutan. If the weather is clear, you may see Kanchenjunga, Mt. Everest and Chomolhari, Bhutan’s sacred mountain. Upon arrival in Paro and completing visa formalities, we will be met at the airport by our...
We leave Paro this morning on our bikes and follow the winding road beside the Pa Chu (chu means river or water) to its confluence with the Thimphu River and onto the Nation’s capital, Thimphu and our hotel. After checking in and refreshing ourselves, we will head out...
We will have an early start today for a full day biking to the ancient winter capital of Punakha. The full distance covered biking on the highway will be approximately 80 kms/50 miles. It is about 25 kms/15.5 miles to reach the pass of Dochu La (La means pass) at an a...
The 21 kms/13 miles between Punakha to Wangdhi is a relatively flat cycle. The impressive Wangdhi Dzong reaches skyward from a strategic spur at the confluence of the Tang and Po Chus, and has a commanding view of the valley below. Like all Dzongs, it has a section fo...
Again with a combination of partly biking and riding on the tour bus, we head for Bumthang. Distance covered will be approximately 160 km. We return to the main road and then climb up Pele La (3300m/10,825ft). On the way to Tongsa, we will stop for lunch at the Chendi...
A full day’s biking tour of the Bumthang Chokor Valley, noted as one of the most beautiful and sacred in Bhutan. This valley has a history hallowed by the frequent visits of Padmasambhava when he was bringing the Buddha’s message to Bhutan. He meditated in caves aroun...
Today we will bike to the highest of the four valleys which make up the Bumthang Valley. From the Tang Valley, the road gradually climbs through the scenic country side to Ura La (3,408m/11,180ft) which is marked by a chorten and mani wall. Just before the pass, if th...
The aim is to make a full day’s biking tour of the Tang Valley. We will stop at several important religious pilgrimage sites including Mebartsho, -‘the burning lake’ and Tang Rimochen Lhakhang.
One track leads up to the base of Ugyencholing Dzong. The valley is...
Today again we will be partly biking and riding on the tour bus. Distance covered will be 190 kms/118 miles approximately. We return over the Pele La (for the longest downhill of the trip!) and stay at the Chuzom Sa Resort.
We are planning on an early morning departure to visit the Punakha Dzong and then travel over the Dochu La for a chance to view the Bhutanese Himalayas. In the early afternoon, we will return to Thimphu. The rest of the day is free to roam Thimphu for sightseeing, shopping or more riding, or we can visit at the Thimphu Dzong.
Today we transfer back to Paro and then drive the winding road beside the Pa Chu to Satsam Chorten. From this point, we begin the challenging hike to Taktsang, the Tiger’s Nest. A vantage point directly across a gorge from the temple can be reached in about four hours...
After breakfast, we return to the airport for our departure from the land of the Thunder Dragon for Bangkok on Druk Air, and then onward travel home.
