A motorcycle tour through Bhutan is a journey across some of the most dramatic landscapes in the eastern Himalayas. This 10-day ride takes you from the India–Bhutan border at Phuntsholing all the way across the country to Samdrup Jongkhar, passing forested highways, mountain passes, deep valleys, and remote eastern towns. With smooth tarmac, disciplined traffic, and incredibly scenic routes, Bhutan is one of the safest and most rewarding riding destinations for bikers.
The Bhutan bike tour moves through the country’s most iconic regions: Thimphu, Haa Valley, Paro, Punakha, Gangtey, Bumthang, and Trashigang, each offering a mix of culture, mountain views, and wide-open roads. Expect twisting climbs, high-altitude passes like Chelela (3,988 m) and Thrumshingla (3,780 m), long stretches through pine forests, and gentle challenges that keep every rider engaged without overwhelming beginners.
What makes this ride special is the balance: curated routes, defined daily distances, scenic stops, and plenty of time to explore monasteries, valleys, and countryside life along the way. You’ll ride through Bhutan’s quieter interiors, witness a side of the country most tourists never see, and experience a mindful pace of travel that only a motorcycle can offer.
For Indian riders looking for a 10-day Bhutan bike trip that blends adventure, scenery, culture, and smooth Himalayan highways, this journey is as rewarding as it is unforgettable.
Your Bhutan motorcycle adventure begins at Phuentsholing, the gateway town bordering West Bengal. Complete the entry formalities, soak in the calm Bhutanese vibe, and take a relaxed walk through the local market area. This day is intentionally easy, a warm-up before the long Himalayan ride ahead.
Kick off your first long stretch of riding as you ascend from the plains into Bhutan’s mountains. The 176 km route is scenic, with smooth roads, gentle curves, and lush forests on both sides. Reach Thimphu and explore landmarks like Buddha Dordenma, the National Memorial Chorten, and the lively craft markets. It’s a perfect blend of riding and soft cultural immersion.
Today’s ride is one of the most thrilling of the tour. The route winds through dense pine forests to the remote Haa Valley, a quiet region rarely visited by tourists. Continue upward to Chelela Pass, Bhutan’s highest motorable road, known for sweeping hairpin bends, chilly winds, and panoramic snow-peak views. Descend into Paro and enjoy the valley’s countryside charm.
Begin the climb towards Dochula Pass, home to 108 sacred chortens and some of the finest Himalayan viewpoints on the route. The roads here are well-maintained with easy climbs and broad turns.

Ride deeper into Bhutan, entering the wide, glacial bowl of Phobjikha Valley, one of the most beautiful regions in the country. Expect a mix of smooth tarmac, forest sections, and gentle high-altitude climbs. Visit Gangtey Monastery and enjoy wide open meadows, mist, and peaceful scenery.
A long riding day filled with mountain passes and shifting landscapes. Cross Pelela Pass, ride through Trongsa, and continue towards Bumthang, one of Bhutan’s most historically rich valleys.Stop at iconic sites like Trongsa Dzong and explore ancient landmarks such as Jakar Dzong and the sacred lake Mebar Tsho.
Take a break from riding to stretch, explore Bumthang’s quiet countryside, visit local temples, or enjoy short scenic rides within the valley. This day also helps riders acclimatize and recover before the eastern stretch of the tour.
One of the most memorable riding days of the itinerary. Cross Thrumshingla Pass, known for its dramatic curves, shifting elevations, and cloud-filled valleys. The descent brings sweeping views, deep forests, and breezy straight stretches. Reach Trashigang, a culturally vibrant eastern town with traditional homes and lively markets.
The final ride of the tour takes you along Bhutan’s eastern corridor, passing rural hamlets, terraced fields, and long winding valleys. The terrain becomes gentler as you descend towards Samdrup Jongkhar at the Indian border.
