    HIGHER STIn the vertiginousAT mountainsE of Bhutan, where happiness is akin to holiness, bicycling has become much more than a national pastime. It’s a spiritual journey. BY JODY ROSEN OF BEINPHOTOGRAPHSG BY SIMON ROBERTS N BHUTAN, THERE IS A KING who rides a bicycle up and down the mountains. Like many stories you will hear in this tiny Himalayan nation, it sounds like a fairy tale. In fact, itís hard news. Jigme Singye IWangchuck, Bhutanís fourth Druk Gyalpo, or Dragon King, is an avid cyclist who can often be found pedaling the steep foothills that ring the capital city, Thimphu. All Bhutanese know about the kingís passion for cycling, to which he has increasingly devoted his spare time since December 2006, when he relinquished the crown to his eldest son. In Thimphu, many tell tales of close encounters, or near-misses ó the time they pulled over their car to chat with the bicycling monarch, the time they spotted him, or someone who looked quite like him, on an early-morning ride. If you spend any time in Thimphu, you may soon find yourself scanning its mist-mantled slopes. That guy on the mountain bike, darting out of the fog bank on the road up near the giant Buddha statue: Is that His Majesty? SOUL CYCLE The fourth king is the most beloved figure in A rider in the Tour of the Dragon, a modern Bhutanese history, with a biography 166.5-mile, one-day that has the flavor of myth. He became bike race through the mountains of Bhutan, Bhutanís head of state in 1972 when he was just alongside the Druk 16 years old, following the death of his father, Wangyal Lhakhang Jigme Dorji Wangchuck.

The Golden Jubilee of the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between India and Bhutan is being celebrated in the year 2018. High Level Visits The traditionally unique bilateral relations, characterized by trust and understanding have matured over the years.
