Bhutan Driving Distances

Travel Information

Bhutan, a small kingdom in the Himalayas, has a network of winding roads that connect its major towns and cities. Due to the mountainous terrain, driving distances in Bhutan are measured in terms of time rather than kilometers. The country's primary east-west highway, the Lateral Road, runs from Phuentsholing in the southwest to Trashigang in the east, covering approximately 600 kilometers.
