Bhutan's mountainous terrain's offer a fascinationg adventure for bicycling enthusiast. The route along Bhutan's West-East Highways ( aapx 600kms ) is an exciting route with challenges of surmounting a new pass ouver 3000 meters every day. The Highways winding up and shown mountains with drops of thousand of feet keep one too high an adrenaline to feel the sightest pinch of monotony.
As one progress along the route, there is a discernible change in the flora and temprture when one gardually descends, from the aping height, into the temperate regions of teh east. All along the route the interruption by picturesque, and almost medieval, villages and towns rich in cultural spots make a welcome diversion.
