Tours can be arranged centered around religious festivals such as the Tshechus and pilgrimages to important power spots or kneys around the country.

Bicycling

Bhutan's mountainous terrain offers a fascinating adventure for bicycling enthusiasts. The route along Bhutan's west-east highway (approx. 800 kms) is an exciting route with challenges of surmounting a new pass over 3000m every other day.

The highways, winding up and down with drops, at times, of thousands of feet, keep one too high on adrenaline to feel the slightest pinch of monotony. As one progresses along the route, there is a discernible change in the flora and temperature when one gradually descends from the alpine heights into the temperate regions of Punakha, Wangdiphodrang, Mongar, Trashigang and Samdrup Jongkhar.

All along the route, the interruption by picturesque and almost medieval villages and towns rich in cultural spots, make a welcome diversion.
