Motorcycle Trip to Bhutan

12 stages - 668 miles
Arrival in Delhi
1/12 • Arrival in Delhi
Namaste and welcome to India! You will be met at the airport by our local representative, who will hand over your schedule and flight details for the following day, followed by a transfer to your hotel. For this first step, you are free to explore the city as you wish. We recommend visiting the Jama Masjid mosque and the picturesque Chandni Chowk bazaar. (Note: Your tour guide will meet you directly in Sandrup Jongkhar, Bhutan.)
Delhi - Sandrup Jonghkar
2/12 • Delhi - Sandrup Jonghkar
This morning we fly to Guwahati in Assam, a small state in eastern India. From there, transfer by vehicle to the Bhutanese border. After some administrative formalities, we arrive in Sandrup Jonghkar, the starting point of our motorcycle ride in the Himalayan kingdom.
62 miles
Sandrup Jonghkar - Trashigang
3/12 • Sandrup Jonghkar - Trashigang
It's the grand departure for our motorcycle trip to Bhutan! We ride from ridge to ridge, overlooking the surrounding countryside. Bamboo forests and stilt houses surround us. Then we reach the gentle Trashigang where we spend the night.
112 miles
Trashigang - Mongar
4/12 • Trashigang - Mongar
Heading to Mongar! Along the way, we make a detour to Drametse Dzong, the most important monastery in eastern Bhutan. Our route then winds through dense blue pine forests where rhododendrons, ferns, and wild orchids share the undergrowth.
59 miles
Mongar - Bumthang
5/12 • Mongar - Bumthang
We set off again through the thick jungle, then leave behind this semi-tropical climate zone bordered by bamboo and lianas for a vast plateau. We begin the ascent of Bhutan's highest motorable pass, the Thrumsing La (12467 feet).
118 miles
Bumthang - Gangtey
6/12 • Bumthang - Gangtey
We resume our route west through the wide, open, and cultivated Chumé Valley, dotted with temples. A forest of oaks, rhododendrons, and magnolias surrounds us as an introduction to the ascent of Pele La at 10827 feet.
93 miles
Gangtey - Punakha
7/12 • Gangtey - Punakha
The road winds into a narrow valley where dwellings are scarce, then we ascend the black mountains. The descent leads us to the hamlet of Chuzomsa. Punakha was the capital of Bhutan until 1955, and is now renowned for its majestic dzong in an enchanting setting.
50 miles
Punakha - Thimphu
8/12 • Punakha - Thimphu
We continue towards Thimphu via the Dochu La at over 10171 feet. We quickly reach the capital and take advantage of the afternoon to visit the Memorial Chorten, or the Folk Heritage Museum which offers a fascinating insight into the way of life and traditions of Bhutan.
43 miles
Timphu - Paro
9/12 • Timphu - Paro
To reach the capital, Paro, we head to Dodji Dzong, from where we can admire Mount Jhomolhari, culminating at 23996 feet, a natural border with Tibet. A very beautiful road leads us to Haa before crossing the Chele La at 12467 feet.
115 miles
Paro
10/12 • Paro
We can reach the Tiger’s Nest temple, clinging to the cliff at an altitude of 10236 feet. Not far from the monastery, but 2625 feet above the bottom of the precipice, lies the "Tiger's Den," a true hermitage, where a monk isolated himself for several years. Then free time in Paro.
12 miles
Paro - Delhi
11/12 • Paro - Delhi
Transfer to Paro International Airport. Return flight to Delhi. Overnight at the hotel.
