Itinerary and Map

Day 01: ISLAMABAD

Explore Islamabad, visit the famous Faisal Mosque, eat at a local joint, do some last minute shopping before we venture out into the mountains.

DAY 02: ISLAMABAD TO BALAKOT

We will hop in our support vehicle and drive a couple of hours outside of islamabad where you'll meet your motorcycles, any adjustments required can be taken care of here, an early night so you're fresh for your first day on the motos tomorrow!

DAY 03: BALAKOT TO NARAN

It’ll be your first day on the motorcycle in Pakistan so we leave early in the morning to beat the traffic and get into the mountains. Breakfast is going to be one of those hidden gems on the side of the road and you’ll get to ride along the famous Kunhar River. We try our best to stay at family run guest houses/hotels for a more personalized experience.

DAY 04: NARAN TO HUNZA

Naran is known to be the entry point to the mountains, you get to cross Babusar Pass 13,700ft one of the most spectacular high passes in the country. You finally get a chance to ride the world famous Karakoram Highway today!

DAY 05: REST DAY IN HUNZA – VISIT THE BAZAAR ALTIT/BALTIT FORT

Hunza has a lot to offer, one of the most vibrant bazaars in GB has to be the Karimabad Bazaar. From old ancient jewels, to hand made handicrafts, silk carpets and clothes.. Karimabad is also home to the famous Walnut cake at Cafe de Hunza. A lot of history too so you’ll be visiting some 1000 year old forts too. My favorite is the all women furniture factory, Hunza has a 95% literacy rate, one of the highest in the country.

DAY 06: HUNZA TO KHUNJERAB AND BACK DOWN TO GULMIT

An exhilarating ride up Karakorum highway to the Pakistan/China Border 15,400ft above sea level is a real treat to experience on two-wheels. You might also get lucky and see the super rare Markhor, Ibex or even the snow leopard.

DAY 07: REST DAY IN GULMIT

Explore Gulmit area, Hussainy suspension bridge or maybe a short hike up Passu glacier. Visit the all women weaving centre!

DAY 8 : GULMIT TO NARAN

Now we’re heading back down to Islamabad, and youll be crossing the magnificent Babusar Pass once again! Climbing up Babuar from this Chillas side is spectacular and it’ll feel like you haven't been up this road before,

DAY 9: NARAN TO BALAKOT TO ISLAMABAD

You can ride all the way to Islamabad if you feel like, however the traffic congestion gets insane and we prefer to end the ride in Balakot and then hop in the Van for a easy ride back into Islamabad

DAY 10: FLY HOME!
