I am planning for long ride from Ranchi on my pulsar 200ns I can't decide whether to go Darjeeling r puri please suggest

We had thought of touring Bhutan on Bikes, but unfortunately the day prior to our arrival the rules changed saying Bikers coming via Phuentsholing border are banned from carrying their vehicles to Paro / Thimphu. So we had to leave our bikes at an acquaintance's place and then proceed towards Paro by a local taxi. No bike permit is being issued as of now. And if someone wants to ride bikes in Bhutan, they can hire it from Thimphu.
A word of caution regarding changes make note of changes in rules and confirm beforehand because there are lots of rules being changed and the most major one may be Indian Tourists entering Bhutan will require a guide in the foreseeable future. Also the entry gate for vehicles entering Bhutan has changed.
We were lucky as we had an acquaintance but most of the bikers who arrived that day for permit, returned to India.

There guys are going crazy. They just want indian tourists out of their country. I don't how are they suppose to survive? I entered Bhutan on 21.06.2017 solo and did have some issues getting my permit. At one point, I just wanted to shout at the officials and head back. They're changing rules everyday without any notice. Just a day before I arrived, they made a new rule of no permits to bikers. 2 of the bikers who rode from kerela had their permit rejected.
