The expedition
Overview
Bhutan Happiness Tour — 7 nights and 8 days, for a maximum of 10 riders.
Motorcycles: Royal Enfield Himalayan 411cc BS6, or Himalayan 450cc (limited to 8 bikes).
Riders are briefed by the guide and road captain on safe riding and the most important road-safety rules of Bhutan; motorcycle formalities are completed with the RSTA before the ride begins.
Important: this trip includes a few long stages. First aid and transfer to the nearest medical centre are provided by our support vehicle, as helicopters and ambulances are rarely available. Phone coverage is limited and satellite phones are restricted, so contacting emergency services can be difficult. As on any mountain route, road quality and difficulty depend heavily on current and recent weather.

Distances and riding times are estimates; mountain conditions can change the plan on the day.
On arrival at Bagdogra airport, our team or driver will greet you and drive you to the Jaigaon–Bhutan border. Phuentsholing, the gateway for travellers entering Bhutan by road, is a thriving commercial centre at the foot of the Himalayas — a fascinating mix of Indian and Bhutanese cultures. Our guide completes the walk-in entry and immigration formalities with you, then we drive to the hotel.
