From the Saddle

Real moments from real rides — every photo below was shot on a Bhutan Rides trip.

A rider launches off a ridge above snow peaks
Riders drop through a pine-forest chute
A rider silhouetted against the sun mid-jump
Full airtime above a grassy ridge
Descending beneath the peak of Jichu Drake
Freeriding below Mt Jomolhari
Carving a dusty ridgeline
Dropping into a wild green valley
Crossing the cantilever bridge at Punakha Dzong
Young monks admire an enduro bike
Sharing the trail with a yak
Riding beneath prayer flags near Tiger's Nest
Riders overlook a rhododendron valley
A mellow cross-country trail stop
Splashing through a river crossing
A trailside waterfall break
Climbing past a hillside village
A mule bridge in the snow
Riders push through fresh snow
Snow riding below the pass
Deep-winter singletrack
Cresting the Yele La pass
An alpine lake below the trail
The long descent from Yele La
A chorten strung with prayer flags
Riding the brown hills above Lubra
A bike rests in a burned pine forest
Royal Enfields pause on a high pass road
All smiles from the Enfield saddle
A town stop for the motorcycle crew
A line of loaded Royal Enfields
An enduro bike propped on Himalayan rock
