These highways usually have little traffic, especially east of Wangdi. The views are often stunning, but you are advised to stop before you look. None of the main roads are very steep. The average percentage seems to be around 7%. The climate in large parts of the country is quite pleasant for cycling, especially in spring and fall. The best season to bike in Bhutan is during the months of Mar- April and Oct. – Nov. During these months the days are sunny and the nights chilly.
