Cycling in Bhutan-Tour of the Dragon

Tour of the Dragon , The hardest Bhutan Cycling Trip

Tour of the Dragon race was conceived by His Royal Highness, Prince Jigyel U. Wangchuck- President of Bhutan Olympic Committee.  He is a leading biking enthusiast and an all round sportsman himself. The race is held on the first Saturday of every September, right after the monsoons and just when autumn sets in.

The tour of the dragon is a perfect name for ride that goes up & down the spine of kingdom. From above we probably look like ants crawling along the coiled mythical dragon’s back. Billed as “The world’s Toughest Mountain Bike Race’ it truly is a beast. The route climbs muscular mountains covered with pine, fir and eventually alpine scrub. The tour plunges into deep valley and gorges cut by roaring rivers flanked by forest.

It is also one of the most challenging one-day events in the world, the race covers 268  Km of stunning Himalayan landscapes. It takes cyclist from central to Western Bhutan. The race covers elevation ranging from 1,200-3,340 meters. Much like the infamous Paris Roubaix, the tour of the Dragon is a trial that no self respecting cyclist will want to pass up.
