Since Bhutan does not have a domestic air service, helicopter services
or railways, the only way left for touring is on foot or by road.
Tourists holding normal tourist visas are taken around by their tour
operators who provide all the transportation facilities.

It is also possible to hire cars with a driver through a travel
agency. Biking would also be a great way to explore Bhutan, especially
around the Thimphu and Paro valleys. Bikes are not yet available for
rent, though services of taxi operators can be availed. Cabs in Bhutan
don't have meters or fixed fares, and are open to negotiation.

Good Luck!
