The Expedition
Trip Overview
Embark on an extraordinary journey through Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, where every winding road leads to soaring mountain passes, centuries‑old monasteries, and a culture unlike any other. Choose to experience Bhutan your way. Take the wheel in your own SUV (or one rented with our assistance) from Siliguri, or fly directly to Paro and explore the kingdom in the comfort of a chauffeur‑driven Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.
Drive alongside a convoy of fellow explorers as you traverse Bhutan's spectacular landscapes, conquering iconic mountain passes like Chele La (3,822 m) and Dochu La (3,140 m), before hiking to the legendary Tiger's Nest Monastery, perched dramatically at 3,090 metres.
As the expedition unfolds, venture beyond Bhutan's popular western valleys into the lesser‑explored eastern regions of Bumthang, Mongar, and Trashigang. Visit ancient monasteries, experience authentic Bhutanese hospitality, and discover traditions that have remained beautifully preserved for generations.
From alpine meadows and dense forests to peaceful valleys and subtropical plains, every day reveals a different side of Bhutan. Whether you choose the thrill of driving yourself or the ease of travelling in a chauffeur‑driven Prado, you'll follow the same carefully curated route, stay at the same premium properties, and enjoy the same unforgettable experiences. The only difference is how you choose to experience the journey.
This isn't just a road trip. It's an immersive overland expedition that seamlessly blends adventure, culture, and the timeless beauty of the Himalayas.

Traveller Reviews
David OwensBhutan Overland
"I was very impressed with the whole Adventures Overland team and experience. Before the trip, I was least excited about joining a convoy of cars, but it turned out to be one of the best parts of the trip!"

About Bhutan Overland – Season 2
After a successful first edition, Bhutan Overland by Adventures Overland returns for its second season, bringing back one of the most unique chauffeur driven experiences in the Himalayas. As pioneers of self-drive expeditions across continents, Adventures Overland continues to redefine the way people explore destinations, not from a window seat, but from behind the wheel.
This journey is designed for those who want more than just a Bhutan trip. It is an experience that takes you across changing landscapes of the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan and further into its remote eastern regions. With a convoy of like-minded travellers, expert on-ground support, and carefully curated routes, Bhutan Overland blends adventure with cultural immersion in a way few journeys can.
Bhutan Road Trip & Self-Drive Experience
This Bhutan road trip is not just about reaching destinations, but about the journey itself. From crossing into Bhutan at Phuentsholing to navigating scenic mountain roads, every stretch offers something new. Drive across iconic high-altitude passes like Chele La Pass (3,822 meters) and Dochu La Pass (3,140 meters), hike to the legendary Tiger’s Nest Monastery, and explore valleys like Haa, Punakha, and Phobjikha.
This drive is perfect for those who don't want to drive and simply want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey. Travel in a comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser Prado with an experienced driver, allowing you fully take in the landscapes while still being part of the same overland experience.
What makes this journey truly special is the route into Eastern Bhutan, covering regions like Bumthang, Mongar, and Trashigang, areas that remain largely untouched by mainstream tourism. This adds a rare depth to your Bhutan itinerary, making it more than just a standard holiday package.
