Mountain biking in Bhutan? Trust us, it's something else entirely. I mean, where else can you cycle through a country that measures happiness instead of just money?
The beauty of Bhutan is that it gets to you differently. You're pedalling up a hill one minute, and you're gliding down, and the scenery is so stunning your aching legs are forgotten. The trails meander through virgin forests, by villages where children come running out to high-five you as you pass.
What gets us most about cycling here is that it feels like moving meditation.
You'll pull over at each turn because there's always going to be another monastery sitting atop a cliff or another valley that was in a fairy tale.
Locals are friendly and curious about where you are from and will always be available with directions. Plus, there are tons of other things to do in Bhutan when your legs need rest – hot stone baths, ancient fortresses, and tea with monks.
