Frequently Asked Questions
6 QuestionsWhat is the weather like in Summer vs. Winter in Bhutan, and when is the best time for this tour?
Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) offer the ultimate riding weather with crystal-clear skies, panoramic Himalayan views, and mild daytime temperatures ranging between 15°C and 22°C.
In Winter (December to February), days are crisp and sunny with sharp blue skies, but temperatures drop significantly at night (0°C to 5°C), and high mountain passes like Dochula (3,100m) and Chele La (3,988m) can experience freezing winds and frost. Summer (June to August) brings the monsoon season with lush green landscapes and vibrant flora, but rain showers and wet tarmac require rain liners and disciplined cornering.

Traveller Reviews
View All Reviews"The Bhutan motorcycle cross-border tour was nothing short of epic! Riding up the switchbacks to Dochula and Chele La pass (3,988m) on Himalayan bikes was an adrenaline rush. The backup mechanic truck, luggage van, and our road captain were phenomenal!"
"Joined as a solo woman rider. The safety protocols, bike conditions, and camaraderie with the group were top level. Crossing the Indo-Bhutan border with zero paperwork hassle was amazing thanks to High Mountains team."
"Smooth tarmac, zero traffic, jaw-dropping valleys, and warm Bhutanese hospitality. The bikes were maintained in top shape daily by the team mechanic. Hands down the best motorcycle expedition I have ever been on."
