A
simply unforgettable and once in a lifetime mountain bike holiday in the fascinating Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan during which you ride a huge range of spectacular trails in the shadow of the Himalayas. One of the most exciting aspects is the complete absence of mountain bikers in the country. In Bhutan you will have the opportunity to ride genuinely untouched trails including some of the most thrilling and dramatic singletrack we have seen anywhere. From Delhi, a spectacular flight across the Himalayas provides access to this very special country.
We begin in Paro with some acclimitisation rides and sightseeing before riding west close to the Tibetan border and then visiting the countrys capital, Thimphu. The riding just keeps getting better and the trails in and around the beautiful Punakha Valley are superb, including some brilliant singletrack through the native chir-pine forests.
Due to the nature of arranging travel to Bhutan and with places limited for both 2008 departures, please ensure that you book well in advance for this particular trip, so as to not avoid disappointment.
