Harley-Davidson India recently concluded its 3rd international ride, this time through the ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’- Bhutan. The ride, which was conducted from 4th to 10th May 2016 saw H.O.G. members coming together to fulfill their quest for riding in one of the world’s most sought after riding destinations. The ride was organized by the Bengal Chapter of Harley Owners Group and this time they were accompanied by passionate rider friends from the Harley-Davidson Bhutan brotherhood.
The ride started when Harley owners from across India gathered at the small border town in southern Bhutan, Phuntsholing and from there commenced their journeys with the riders from Bhutan onward to Thimphu, Paro, Punakha and Tsirang. Bhutan, known for its breathtaking views and a rustic landscape charmed the participants through the ride. The riders took a leisurely ride through the bucolic Bhutanese countryside soaking in rare views. The ride took them through high altitude roads and meandered through quaint villages.
Commenting on the journey, Adarsh Tulshan, Dealer Principal,Bengal Harley-Davidsonsaid, “Riding through the scenic roads of Bhutan has always been a rider’s delight as the ride offers dynamic landscapes making it highly desirable for riders.It’s always great to ride with a fellow H.O.G. brother and over the last three years we have seen more and more rider join us for the 3rd International H.O.G.® Ride making it an annual affair we love coming back to.”

These were all proud Harley-Davidson motorcycle owners, each with a unique story to tell. We take great pride in showing riders our country and helping them navigate through Bhutan’s amazing terrain and landscape. I look forward to welcoming Harley owners to a number of unforgettable rides in Bhutan in years to come.”
