                Information is nicely put together.
                Which dates were you guys in Bhutan?

                I recently did Bhutan, riding from Mumbai in January.

                    Nice one. very well scripted information about the formalities. Now I am waiting from the time you got the Bikes off the train and then hit the tarmac. Keep Posted.

                              Brilliant write up Strider. Nice pictures.
                              I could not remember the permit fee thing while writing my travelogue of Bhutan and I mentioned RS100 which is incorrect. There is no permit fee. Thanks for mentioning and adding other vital details.
