Bhutan is an immensely beautiful country and this trip really does cover the essence of it. You will get to see beautiful views of Himalaya mountains, you will visit a number of unique monasteries, historical fortresses and natural sights. The sequence of the visited places is well chosen, with the hiking trip to the Tiger´s nest the day before your departure. A cap is a must and some prior hiking training is an advantage. The food was very fine, with the hosts able to prepare a vegetarian option. Guide and driver both excellent. This really has been, without exaggeration, one of our best holiday trips. People were friendly, hospitable and the places we visited were magical, with no, or only a very few tourists.

This was the best trip I have taken in my 50 years of existence on this planet. And I have travelled to a lot of places. The time to visit Bhutan is now, before it is overrun by tourists and Gadventues does an amazing job of making your visit one to remember.

Soaring mountains, endless forests, ancient monasteries, and a proud heritage – the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan beckons intrepid cyclists to traverse its breathtaking landscapes and explore its rich traditions. This epic 15-day journey is the final word in cycling tours through the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon' following the Lateral Road – Bhutan’s primary east-west route – for 785 km, from the capital Thimphu at the foot of the Himalayas to the border outpost of Samdrup Jongkhar on the edge of the Assam Plain. But it’s not just about the thrill of the ride – we also slow down to discover Bhutan’s most iconic dzongs (fortified monasteries) and immerse ourselves in a highland world of untamed woodlands, grazing herds of yaks, and rural bliss.
We begin in Paro with a visit to Bhutan’s iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery, an unforgettable hike that also serves as a warm-up for our lungs and legs! The next day, based in Thimphu, we tackle the formidable Dochula Pass, rewarded with a long, winding descent into Punakha Valley, where we explore the country’s most photogenic dzong. From here we follow gushing rivers and rugged mountain passes to reach the Bumthang Valley, the spiritual heartland of Bhutan. A rest day allows us to discover the birthplace of Bhutanese Buddhism before we venture into the remote Tang and Ura valleys where glistening rice paddies blanket the rolling hills. The final stage of our adventure features simply stunning scenery as we rise and fall with the contours of the Himalayan foothills to reach Trashigang, the easternmost point on Bhutan’s Lateral Road. And finally, after a last set of gradual climbs, we relish in the grand finale: a descent from over 2,000 metres to near sea level as we roll to the Bhutanese border with the Indian state of Assam. On the last day we cross into India and drop you off in the bustling city of Guwahati, where you can catch your onward flight.
Join us on this extraordinary journey and discover the mystical land of Bhutan by bike!
