 “Kusuzangpo” (Namaste) That’s how people greet one another in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Bhutan is roughly the same size as Switzerland. The kingdom has around 650,000 inhabitants, of which around 50,000 live in the capital Thimphu. Bhutan is mainly Buddhist; a small Hindu population of Nepali immigrants lives in the south of the country. Tourism is permitted only to the extent that it does not endanger the kingdom’s traditional culture and society. In Bhutan, “GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS” takes precedence over economic considerations. Riding a motorcycle in Bhutan is different. Straight roads hardly exist, and we’ve counted an average of 10 curves per kilometer. The roads are quite empty, and the capital city of Thimphu doesn’t even have a traffic light! Motorcycle tour of Bhutan takes us along small mountain roads in varying conditions, and the ride never gets boring – beautiful landscapes soon cure us of the urge to ride hard. Places to Visit: Phuntsholing, Thimphu, Punakha, Phobjika, Bumthang, Wangduephodrang, Chelela Pass,Dzongdrakha Goempa,Paro.
