Day 1 Siliguri- Phuentsholing
On the first day of your tour, our ground team will meet you at the airport and drive you to Phuentsholing. Upon arrival in this border town, we will visit the immigration office and obtain all the necessary permits. Use the rest of the day for acclimatization and sightseeing, exploring the Phuentsholing market or visiting the famous Phuentsholing temple.
 Day 2 Phuentsholing - Thimpu
After a sound sleep and a hearty breakfast, we kickstart our expedition with a ride to Bhutan’s capital city, Thimphu. Brilliantly laid-out tarmac with sweeping corners makes this first day of riding a perfect warm-up. We will visit the magnificent Tashichho Dzong and spend the evening exploring Thimphu’s vibrant nightlife.
 Day 3 Thimpu Local
An easy day today as we putter around the beautiful city of Thimphu. We will visit local attractions like the towering Buddha Dordenma statue and the famous experiential museum, 'Simply Bhutan.'
 Day 4 Thimpu - Phobjika
We get back on our bikes and head to the Phobjika Valley. This lesser-explored valley is a haven for migratory birds, including the Black-necked Crane. The view of the snow-clad eastern Himalayas from Dochu La is absolutely surreal. We will also glimpse Bhutan's highest peak, Mt. Masanggang, and spend some time at Druk Wangyal Lhakhang and the famous 108 stupas.
 Day 5 Phobjika - Punakha
Today’s adventure includes crossing the Dochu La Pass again and riding along narrow mountain roads to Punakha. Known for its breathtaking Dzong, Punakha was once a fortress and now serves religious and administrative purposes. We will visit the fertility village of Chime Lhakhang, take a thrilling rafting trip down the Punakha River, and cross several suspension bridges.
 Day 6 Punakha - Chelela Pass - Docha La Pass - Paro
We continue our expedition to the valley town of Paro, which is home to Bhutan’s only international airport. Along the way, we will ride through Chele La Pass, the highest motorable road in Bhutan.
 Day 7 Tiger's Nest Exploration
Less riding today and more trekking as we climb the iconic Paro Taktsang, also known as the Tiger’s Nest monastery. This cliffside monastery is one of Bhutan’s most famous sites. In the evening, we’ll explore Paro’s bustling markets and try local Bhutanese cuisine.
