Adventure Bhutan - Into ‘ The Land of the Dragon’ Motorbike Expedition - 09 Nights / 10 Days

Situated in the Eastern Himalayas, covering an area of 47,000 square kms, it is inhabited by a small population around the capital of Thimpu, and comprises inhabitants reflecting the ethnici-ties of the three neighbouring countries - Tibet, India and Nepal.

Bhutan, known as the land of the ‘Thunder Dragon’ is a name that resonates in the undulating roads, nestled by land on all sides and screaming adventure with every mile. Bhutan welcomed modernity only in 1962, and as a result of this still showcases a landscape that is pristine and un-touched. Tourism is one of the country’s mainstay and yet is done in a way that doesn’t compro-mise the kingdom’s traditional culture and beauty. Their emphasis has always been on ‘gross na-tional happiness’, and they are constantly ranked top on this world index.

Ancient in culture, scenic in beauty, simplicity in its people and a profoundness of peace, Bhutan sandwiched between India and China is an untouched oasis of culture and history. A brilliant journey through its soul is best experienced on a saddle, riding through its rough terrain.
