Non-motorized Transport - Bhutan

Bhutan being dominated by mountain peaks in the north, characterised by perpetual snow, accompanied by blizzards during the winter, make walking or cycling a not so pleasant or safe option. However, the central and southern regions; and the valleys of Bhutan present a good case for developing walkways. They have more or less pleasant climatic conditions all year round, along with suitable topographic conditions. To counteract the problem of sometimes severe precipitation, covered walkways, cycle routes can be constructed.
