Transportation and Driving Distance
There is no domestic flight or railway service in the country. All the tourist destinations of Bhutan are accessible by road only. Despite high mountains and steep slopes, Bhutan has a fairly well developed network of roads. The roads along the rugged terrain and mountains limit the car speed to 30 km/hour and with tourist buses driving even slower. Enroute, you will have spectacular views of landscapes, snow capped mountains, lush green valleys, unpolluted and crystal clear rivers, farmlands and villages.

Guests are provided with 4WD Japanese Toyota vehicles such as Hilux , Prado and Land-cruiser for a group 1-2 persons, Hiace bus for a group of 3- 7 persons and Deluxe Coaster bus for group 8 - 20 persons. All these vehicles are periodically checked and maintained. The drivers are seasoned drivers and carefully chosen to escort our guests. The transportation cost is included in the tariff.
