Bhutan’s mountainous terrain’s offer a fascinating
adventure for bicycling enthusiast. The route along Bhutan’s West-East
Highways (approx. 600kms) is an exciting route with challenges
of surmounting a new pass over 3000 meters every day. The highways
winding up an shown mountains with drops of thousand of feet keep
one too high an adrenaline to feel the slightest pinch of monotony.
As one progress along the route, there is a discernible change
in the flora and temperature when one gradually descends, from
the aping height, into the temperate regions of the east. All
along the route the interruption by picturesque, and almost medieval,
villages and towns rich in cultural spots make a welcome diversion.
