Cycling

The rugged, mountainous landscape of Bhutan lends itself well to both on-road or off-road mountain biking and the sport is gaining popularity among both visitors and Bhutanese.

There are a variety of biking routes available ranging from smooth journeys on paved roads to challenging off-road dirt trails that wind through rough terrain. The sport offers a certain intimacy with the environment that is seldom experienced in vehicles. With better roads replacing the old and the increasing number of off-road roads, biking is now becoming a very unique and original way of seeing and interacting with the country, people and the Bhutanese environment.

Most biking trips go through well paved roads while others trail on to dirt roads. Traffic is still relatively very light and the experience very intimate.
