Mystical Bhutan

This tour includes:

Guide

You will be led by a local English-speaking guide and if the group is 9 people or more we will add another guide to the tour. All our guides are well informed in the history, culture and religions of the area where you are biking and are skilled at passing that knowledge on to you. Your guide is also medically trained and an experienced cyclist, able to handle most minor repairs en route.

Transport

This tour is supported by an air-conditioned minivan, specially modified for cycle tours. The vehicle follows us the whole time and is always available for tired cyclists. It is very easy to get bikes on and off the vans, so you can rest when you are tired, and cycle whenever you feel like it. You will always be well looked after.

Accommodation

The hotels listed are our first choice and where we hope you will stay, however, during festivals or other major events there is a chance we will have to substitute another hotel.
