Itinerary

Welcome to Paro, the gateway to Bhutan! We pick you up from the airport and, in the afternoon, visit the National Museum of Bhutan and the Rinpung Dzong, the first dzong (traditional Bhutanese fortified monastery) on this journey. In the evening we convene for a welcome dinner.
We transfer from Paro to Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital. Here, we visit a colossal Buddha statue, meet the takin — Bhutan’s national animal — and learn about traditional crafts. In the afternoon, we cycle through terraced fields, villages, and pine forests for our first taste of rural and wild Bhutan from the saddle!
Today's ride takes us from Thimphu to Punakha via the iconic Dochula Pass. The 18 km ascent is rewarded with views of sacred Buddhist structures and the eastern Himalayas. We then descend 40 km along winding mountain roads into the Punakha Valley
Today, we explore the Punakha Valley, starting with visits to the grand Punakha Dzong and the Chhimi Lhakhang monastery. After lunch, we cycle a leisurely loop, crossing a swaying metal bridge over the Puna Tsang Chu River and enjoying stunning views of terraced rice paddies and towering mountains.
Our final ride follows the Mo Chhu River upstream into lush, tranquil woodlands. Challenging climbs are rewarded with scenic views, a picnic lunch in the forest, and a refreshing descent down the same way. In the afternoon, we transfer back to Paro for the final two nights of the tour.
We’ve saved Bhutan’s most iconic site, the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, for last! We’ll hike up the steep trail, surrounded by breathtaking views of the Paro Valley, to reach this legendary cliffside monastery. In the evening we meet for a farewell dinner.
We transfer you to the airport for your onward flight, or you may choose to extend your stay and discover more of magical Bhutan.
