Wheels Across Bhutan |

Bhutan's mountainous terrain
offers a fascinating adventure for cycling
enthusiasts. The route along Bhutan's West-East
Highway (approx. 600 km) is an extremely scenic
route with the challenge of surmounting a new
pass of over 3000 meters every day. An
exhilarating journey passing through a variety
of landscapes, from the alpine heights of the
West to the temperate regions of the East.
