DESCRIPTION

This isn’t your average motorcycle tour. It’s a ride co-hosted by A Different Agenda and FreeW, combining epic landscapes with real, meaningful connections.

We kick things off in Islamabad and head straight for the mountains—cruising through the green valleys of Naran, climbing up Babusar Pass (13,700 ft), and riding the legendary Karakoram Highway. From Hunza to the Khunjerab Pass at the China border (15,400 ft), and across Shandur Pass—home to the highest polo field in the world—it’s one unreal backdrop after another. We’ll even take on the infamous Shimshal “Death Road” and wind our way through the remote beauty of Phander and Mastuj.

This trip isn’t just about the ride. It's about the people you meet and the stories you take home. You’ll hang out with the women who are rewriting the script in their communities—from the Kalash Valley to Hunza to the football-loving girls of Shimshal. You’ll learn local crafts, share meals, maybe even kick a ball around on a dusty village field.

We’re also riding with purpose. Part of your trip helps fund and support women-led projects in the region—like sponsoring Shimshal’s soccer team, equipping the women’s wood workshop in Hunza, and helping FreeW’s motorcycle school for women in Nepal.

You’ll ride through the Himalayas, the Karakoram, and the Hindu Kush. You’ll follow the Indus River and watch the landscape (and yourself) transform. So if you're up for an adventure that’s as real as it is raw, and as fun as it is powerful—this is it. Come ride with us.
