I am heading out for a 2 week tour in Bhutan, Assam, and West Bengal . I am flying from Kathmandu to Paro and driving west to east through Bhutan, crossing into West Bengal and driving east to west through the Indian plains.

Unfortunately the only way to tour in Bhutan is with a guide on a fully supported tour. I would prefer to do this on my own but it is not possible in Bhutan.

So I have booked a tour with a Bhutanese company that arranges tours on KTM 640 Adventure bikes (not Enfileds). I will arrive in Bhutan on October 1st and travel for 14 days. Since the trip is fully supported it is not cheap but it is an amazing opportunity. I live in Nepal and I know that you cannot possibly have this type of an experience in Nepal. Bhutan is similar in geography but it is sparsely populated with only 700,000 people. It has well maintained roads through the mountains (including passes over 12,000ft) with no crowds, no trash, and no pollution. Nepal has a population of over 30 million people and the only east-west motorable road is in the plains where more than 55% of the populations resides. This road is crowded, polluted and busy with truck traffic and no visibility of the mountains. The only way to see big mountains in Nepal is by trekking on foot, not on a motorcycle.

I am a private person looking for others to join me on this trip. I can tell you lots more about the trip if you send me an email. I don't want to be accused of promoting a tour agency so contact me for details if this interests you. At that point I can tell you the name of the company I am booked with along with details about the itinerary.
