10 Days Guided Motorcycle tour

Your Bhutan adventure begins as you land at Siliguri Airport, where our team representative will welcome you. A group pickup (before 12 noon) takes you toward Phuentsholing in a comfortable tempo traveller—this is the calm before the storm.

As you wind through the lush foothills, the landscape hints at the wild terrain ahead. By the time we cross into Phuentsholing, Bhutan’s frontier town, the energy shifts. The border is more than just a line now—it’s a gateway into the adventure that awaits.

After completing immigration formalities, settle into the hotel. As evening falls, the much-awaited orientation begins. You’ll meet your tour manager and core crew members—and get officially introduced to your fellow riders. The orientation will dive deep into what this expedition demands: riding protocols, safety guidelines, and a breakdown of the route ahead followed by Dinner.

After breakfast, Head towards the RTO for clearance formalities. Once the paperwork is sorted, it’s time to hand over the motorcycles. Feel the weight of the machine in your hands, the grip of the throttle beneath your fingers. Take your time to inspect—check the brakes, clutch, suspension - everything. Our mechanic rides with you and is right there to assist with any tuning or quick fixes needed.

As we leave Phuentsholing behind, the roads begin to coil like serpents. Smooth Tar gives way to patches of gravel, sudden climbs, and sharp turns that demand your full attention on the road. As you ride, the air gets cooler and cleaner—proof of why Bhutan is recognized as the world’s first carbon-negative country. Once you arrive in Paro, settle into your hotel, unwind, and enjoy dinner.

Special Note: Please ensure you carry all necessary documents. Visa approvals are subject to Bhutan Tourism Council discretion and are beyond our control. A passport with at least six months of validity is mandatory for immigration clearance.

After breakfast, get ready as the day takes a spiritual turn—but don’t mistake it for an easy one. Today’s mission is the legendary Taktsang Monastery, famously known as Tiger’s Nest Monastery. Perched dramatically on a cliff at 3,120 meters above sea level, it’s not just a must-visit, but it's also one of Bhutan’s most significant pilgrimage sites.

We ride a short distance to the trailhead, where you’ll park your motorcycles and begin the two-hour uphill trek. The climb is steep, relentless, and humbling. Prayer flags flutter above, catching the mountain wind. And then, there it is—Tiger’s Nest—seemingly suspended in midair, almost too surreal to be real.

Upon reaching Taktsang, the silence deepens. The air is thick with incense and the low murmur of chanting monks. It's a moment of stillness, a pause in the expedition where spirit meets summit. After descending, we return to Paro. This day delivers a perfect balance of physical adventure, cultural immersion, and peaceful introspection.

After breakfast, Gear up and leave Paro behind, tracing the curves that lead toward Bhutan’s capital, Thimphu. The ride is short but scenic, as you roll into Thimphu—a city unlike any other capital in the world. There are no traffic lights here, only white-gloved policeman directing the crowd. We’ll pay our visit to the towering Buddha Dordenma, one of the largest Buddha statues in the world.

The rest of the day is open for exploration. Wander the local markets, pick up handmade crafts, sip butter tea at a hidden café, or just take in the capital's blend of the ancient and the evolving. As night falls, gather for dinner, and the road stories begin to unfold. You’ve crossed into Bhutan’s cultural heart—and tomorrow, the altitude rises, and the ride grows wilder.

After breakfast, Saddle up and leave behind the calm chaos of the capital. What lies ahead is a wild ribbon of mountain road that climbs, twists, and challenges and soon we reach one of the most breathtaking points of the tour—Dochu La Pass.

At 3,100 meters, Dochu La is lined with 108 memorial chortens and offers a panoramic view of the Eastern Himalayas. From the pass, the road descends into valleys and cuts through dense forests. We then throttle through Wangdue Phodrang. The route becomes narrower, more rugged—this is where your riding instincts sharpen. Switchbacks tighten. Roads may disappear into patches of gravel.

And then, Phobjikha reveals itself—an U shaped valley suspended in time. No concrete. No city hum. Just rolling meadows, mist, and black-necked cranes (if the season allows). You’ll visit the Gangtey Monastery, perched high above the valley. By evening, Check into your accommodation nestled within the valley.

By now, your body has aligned with the rhythm of the road—early mornings, throttle hum, mountain air in your lungs. But today isn’t just another ride. It’s the ride. After breakfast, gear up for one of the most challenging and rewarding days of the expedition: Arrival into Bumthang, Bhutan’s spiritual core.

Today’s ride will throw everything at you—broken tarmac, steep drop-offs, loose gravel, mud, rocky sections that test both man and machine. Your motorcycle becomes your compass as you ascend toward one of Bhutan’s high passes: Pele La.

As we cross Pele La, the terrain becomes even more demanding as we navigate into Trongsa, the gateway to central Bhutan. We stop at the majestic Trongsa Dzong— The ride continues until we reach the towering Yutong La at over 3,400 meters.

Once you Bumthang Valley, Check into your accommodation. Over dinner reflect—on the day’s rawness, the altitude, and the spiritual breath of Bumthang.

Today, we stay grounded. No long-distance ride. No high-altitude passes to conquer. Instead, this day is about exploring Bumthang, also known as Jakar.

After breakfast, we dive deep into the spiritual journey of Bhutan. Our first visit takes us to Kurjey Lhakhang, a revered temple complex where Guru Rinpoche is said to have left his body imprint on the rock. It’s the kind of place where you take off your helmet, step inside, and feel centuries of belief wash over you.

From there, we ride towards the Burning Lake, or Mebar Tsho. This sacred site carries tales of ancient discoveries. We then swing by the Red Panda Brewery, Bhutan’s first and only microbrewery. Get a cold beer brewed at altitude, sipped along with your fellow riders with whom you have shared the road, dust, and stories.

The rest of the day is yours to explore. By dinner return to the accommodation and get ready to cover the most thrilling stretch of the expedition tomorrow.

This is it—the longest and most demanding ride of the entire expedition. By now, your motorcycle has become a part of you. Trust it—because today, you’ll need each other more than ever.

We will leave early today because the destination is Trashigang, one of Bhutan’s most remote districts—is around 270 kilometers away. But it’s not only about the long distance, It’s the terrain that defines the day. We’ll ride through Ura, believed to be the home of the earliest inhabitants of Bhutan. Then comes the Thrumshing La Pass, one of the highest motorable roads in Bhutan.

After nearly 7-8 hours in the saddle—exhausted, exhilarated, and coated in a fine layer of dust and pride—you roll into Trashigang. The town feels like the edge of the map, a hard-earned sanctuary. The ride has stripped you down. The road has left its mark.

The morning in Trashigang arrives quietly, as if the mountains themselves know—this is the last ride. After breakfast, we’ll leave for Samdrup Jongkhar, the edge of Bhutan. The route winds through sharp slopes. The ride may not be as brutal as Thrumshing La, but it’s relentless in its own right.

As you descend into Samdrup Jongkhar—Bhutan’s final outpost before the Indian border—the bikes are lined up one last time. One by one, keys are handed over. And with each ignition turned off, a silence settles that hits harder than expected.

As the sun dips below, the group gathers for dinner—not just for a meal, but for a celebration of the journey and the brotherhood formed along the way. Tomorrow, you’ll cross the border and return to your old life,but a part of you will always remain on these roads.

After breakfast, we board the tempo traveller for the journey back to Guwahati. You watch the landscape shift through the window, slowly trading Bhutan’s dense green for the familiarity of Indian plains.

The road is smooth, but your mind drifts—replaying monastery bells, the scent of pine, and the grit of gravel under your tires. You catch glimpses of your fellow riders—eyes half-closed, earbuds in, or quietly staring out. Once we reach Guwahati Airport, Bags are offloaded, hugs are exchanged, promises made to ride again. You check your flight, but part of you isn't ready to take off yet.

And that’s the beauty of it. The ride ends, but the story? It stays with you. In the way you walk, breathe, ride. You don’t leave Bhutan. You carry it.

Note: Schedule your return flights anytime after 3 PM to ensure a smooth transfer.
