Cycling

Bhutan's untamed, mountainous terrain is ideal for either on- or off-road mountain biking, which is growing in popularity among both tourists and native Bhutanese. There are many different riding routes, from easy rides on paved roads to difficult off-road dirt paths that wind through difficult terrain. Intimacy with the environment that is rarely felt in cars is provided by the sport. Biking is now developing into a very distinctive and innovative means of experiencing and connecting with the nation, its people, and the Bhutanese environment, with better roads replacing the old and an increase in off-road roads.

The majority of riding journeys take place on well-maintained highways, however, some continue on dirt roads and trails. The atmosphere is incredibly intimate and traffic is still comparatively very light. If they'd choose, the more daring can take detours for additional "off-the-road" adventures. Depending on your riding preferences and level of skill, the trails can handle the majority of frame types, including MTB, Hybrid, and Road. It's just you, your bike, the tour group, and the rural and agricultural environment as biking paths typically meander through tiny towns, villages, and rural areas.

Numerous options exist for extra walks that include some climbing as well. There are a few difficult climbs, one of which takes longer than seven hours. Over two miles (3,400 meters) above sea level, you sell the pads. A breathtaking vista and an amazing experience are the rewards for your work. Riders should be sufficiently skilled in the mountain bike discipline, have a sufficient degree of fitness, and have sufficient stamina. A van that follows riders provides complete support on tours. If necessary, passengers can relax in the vehicle. Many of the bicycle trails pass by tiny towns and temples, which can make for amusing and educational side trips if you need a break.

Rafting and Kayaking

One of the best-kept open secrets in the kingdom is its sparkling-clear rivers. Six large rivers (Wang Chhu, Sunkosh, Puna Tsang Chhu, Mangde Chhu, Kuri Chhu, and Dangme Chhu and their tributaries) that are fed by the glacier melt of the Eastern Himalayas have been surveyed for kayaking and rafting.

They crossed flat plains and steep valleys before coming together at the Brahmaputra River in India. The pristine environment and the immense variety of the rivers' courses offer a special chance to discover Bhutan's breathtaking wildness. The rough, untamed streams of Bhutan will not let down adventurous tourists. There are several rivers in the country, with strong currents that range from some locations' moderate, soothing flows to others' fierce, raging torrents. Adventure sports and tourism have just recently been introduced to Bhutan, but their popularity is growing quickly.

No of your level of experience, Bhutan's river courses have something to offer you: Both beginner-friendly and veteran-friendly runs are available. Bhutanese agents also arrange walking and trekking tours along the picturesque river banks in addition to the rafts and kayaks. Kayaking and rafting are best enjoyed in March through April and November through December, respectively.
