Discover the Land of the Thunder Dragon
Starting in Bangkok (BKK) with a flight into the Himalayan Kingdom and continuing for 11 days/ 10 nights. Our fully supported and guided adventure takes us on a journey through the culture, religion and nature of Bhutan, by bike and on foot. Ending with a Trek to the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery.
Crossing 4 high passes ( including the country's highest motorable road, now made accessible following a 3 year total renovation of the road system), traversing glacial rivers, passing through bucolic villages and exploring traditional mountain fortresses frozen in time.
The tiny mountain kingdom is often described as the Switzerland of Asia, it's rugged and often breathtaking natural beauty, rivaled only by it’s deep spirituality.
For the well traveled, seasoned cycle tourer, The tiny (pop. 700,000) Kingdom of Bhutan, nestled between two giants — China to the North and India to the South — remains the ultimate prize.
Due to the short distances, and vehicle support, this ride is rated ‘Moderate’. In total, we cover approximately 180miles, and climb +16,500ft, over 6 riding days and several easy to moderate hikes. Bike rental is included in the cost, saving additional logistics and distances are achievable for an experienced cyclist with a moderate level of fitness. Bhutan is a Himalayan Kingdom, so we will cover some iconic climbs, but throughout the ride we will have vehicle support and riding guides on hand, in case riders want to take a rest or enjoy the view from the van.
