Biking in Bhutan

Everyone would agree that one sees the world better when one is biking. It is open all around and one is mobile and free. The scenic beauty surrounding the rider in Bhutan is breathtakingly beautiful. The high mountains, deep mystic valleys, pristine forests combined with centuries old culture of Bhutan envelopes the biker wherever in the country. Be it ‘off road’ or ‘on’ road biking, it is a biker’s paradise.

On the road, with almost gentle gradient, one can reach as high 4000m or 13000ft starting from sea level. One would see settlements of temperate zone and meet the semi nomadic herders in their yak camp who live in alpine conditions. One would be able to climb from deep river valleys to high mountain passes and see perennially snow clad mountains after having gone through uninterrupted forest transgression – of from cool board leaved forest to the shrubs of tree line. And yes, in Bhutan when you are at 4000m, you have but reached the tree line. Though high, being located close to equator (latitude wise) helps (just 28 degrees North). Elsewhere, like in Europe for example, at the same altitude, one may be would be starting to use snow chains at any time of the year. And there is such a thing as snow chains for bike tires, you know.

And once you have left Thimphu, where most of the near 50 thousand vehicles are found, you have the roads virtually to yourselves. Though most of our bikers are on the main highway but due to limited traffic, it’s safe to ride bikes on the main highway.

For ‘Off Road’ biking, there are paths that would take you through the woods, farmlands and centuries old monasteries and take you right off this world into another plane of existence. Breathing the clean mountain air, biking underneath the hanging mosses, listening to bird songs and stopping to chat with occasional monks would be typical. But one can do adventurous biking, if one wishes, finding difficult mountain paths or going along the sloping meadows of high passes.

So be it valley floor or high mountain passes, forest or meadows – the air, culture and scenic beauty with friendliness of people will leave one enchanted as the country is.
