Phuentsholing - Gedu - Chukha - Tshimasham.

5th Oct morning, we loaded our bikes & headed straight to RTO office. By 11 we were ready to head north, having completed all the formalities to wander in Bhutan. The terrain here in Bhutan is exceptionally mountainous. From the start itself we were climbing up the gradient. This tour was such that we didn't have any plans of travelling point to point, or the fix places of stay. Hence, it was just like we ride & enjoy the tour. Before sunset, find some suitable place to either camp or home stay or hotel. We topped up the fuel tank of our bikes up to its neck. Here again we were so surprised to check the rates of petrol in Bhutan. Its almost less by 10 bucks a liter. Its really beyond my economics knowledge that how come the petrol or petroleum products are refined in the western part of India (specifically Mumbai High & Gujrath) are sold at higher price in this part where as same thing having incurred much transport cost, is sold at cheaper rates in far east. Taking these calculations in my little brain we started our Bhutan ride. There's no other way than to take a highway from Phuentsholing to Thimphu, which takes you to places of interest in Bhutan. About 5 kms from the start, we came across a check post. Here we need to show them all the permits like Stay permit & RTO permit, along with our driving license. We need to keep all these documents handy as those are required at many such check posts. From nowhere it started drizzling. In few minutes it started pouring heavily. Harshad & Avinash waited at the check post for the rain to stop. Me, Vikram & Rohit started further with all the rain gear like rain suit, plastic bags on our feet & all the luggage. A beautiful,  scenic, tar & curvy road goes through woods. Its the joy of life to ride through it. It rained for about 15 minutes & folks waiting started their journey too. By 12 noon we stopped at a restaurant cum motel which was placed at very beautiful location. The clouds or may be fog was such that it was hitting the road. The food here was very delicious with variety of meat & very little of veg food. The veggies opted for our own humble Maggie but Rohit feasted on all types of meat. In the motels, restaurants, stores of Bhutan, all types of liquor is sold. The drinks are cheap & free flowing.
We planned going to Paro first. Which is about 200kms from Phuentsholing. By now we were treading through beautiful highway. On the way we had coffee
