The adventurous you will not be disappointed either. Bhutan, being located in the Himalayas, is the perfect place for exciting adventure activities like circuit treks, kayaking, rafting, and paragliding.

There is a domestic airport in Bumthang that is connected to Paro by Tashi Air. Domestic flights are available but there are no daily services.

Road

The country have fairly good road network, except the northern region.
Most of Bhutan's roads are mountainous with lots of winding turns.Remember, self-driving though can definitely be an adventure!
Toyota Coaster Buses are cheap and are fairly comfortable.
Taxis or share taxis are arguably the best way to go about, as there are not many options for you to choose from. The prices of these hires can be negotiated directly.
