Mountain Biking

Mountain Biking
Click to Enlarge

Mountain Biking in Bhutan is the definitive test of skills and endurance. There are challenging opportunities going from south to north rising from 290 metres to 3000 metres and scenic riding across the country east to west across mid-hill valleys with views of stunning snowy Himalayan peaks to the north.

 

This is fantastic biking country with the traffic being minimal and slow. Enjoy the twists and turns, uphills and glides down scenic landscapes visiting local inhabitants up close and personal.

 

Off trail biking is also available in valleys up main rural towns with gravelled paths that are used by villagers that go upto yak and sheep grazing pastures.

 

Gear up and book a Mountain Biking trip to Bhutan and enjoy your definitive bike trip!
