30 Mar - Tashigang to Samdrup Jongkhar
The last day's ride in Bhutan was a hard 180 kms, about 50% was roadworks, the rest was only average except for the last 15 km where they have finished the new road.
We go over our last pass where we stop for a picnic lunch as there are few restaurants in this area, East Bhutan, where although there is more population, it is mostly comprised of small villages and groups of homes dotted across the mountainsides. We visited the weaving centre at Khaling and then weave our way down to the boarder town of Samdrup Jongkhar which lies at an altitude of 200 mtrs where we stay tonight at the Mountain Hotel.
31 Apr - Samdrup Jongkhar to GuwahatiIndia
We left Bhutan and drove for about 3 hours before meeting a mini bus to take us the rest of the way to Guwahati, we stpooed for a break and drew a huge crowd, the roads were even worse in India than Bhutan and the trafic is nuts, so we were relieved to get off the bikes and once again drew a big crowd, maybe they dont see that many groups of tourists riding Royal Enfields. So endeth the biking part of this trip, just 2 nights left in Guwahati.
