Unlike other Asian destinations, the Bhutanese lead a very relaxed way of life; there are few cars, lots of untarnished countryside and none of the hustle and bustle that you normally associate with Asia. The peaceful Buddhist way of life is evident everywhere in this kingdom nestled amongst the Himalayas.
Bhutan’s main road is the East-West highway, known locally as the Lateral Road, which was constructed starting in 1962. The road starts in Phuentsholing on the south west Indian border and terminates in Trashigang in the far east, with spurs to other main centres such as Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha. The Lateral Road traverses are a number of high passes, including Tremo La and Do Chu La. The highest pass on the road is at Trumshing La in central Bhutan at an altitude of over 3800 m.
