Bike Upgrade (CRF300)

Upon arrival at Islamabad Airport, transfer to your hotel, allowing time to explore the city and enjoy an early dinner to overcome jet lag.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

This road used to be knows as the “Death Road” however its now fully paved and although they have widened the road quite a bit, it’s still an experience to ride alongside the mighty Indus river. Take lots of snacks with you because getting lunch on the road is rare, heavy breakfast before you leave Gulmit and a bunch of snacks for the road will help you get to Skardu.

Skardu has a lot of history, all the world class climbers land in Skardu before climbing the world’s biggest mountains. All the major expeditions start from Skardu so you usually bump into famous climbers here. Gazing at the stars!

You’ll be crossing the second highest plateau in the world, Deosai Plains also known as the Land of the Giants, is a high-altitude alpine plain with an average elevation of over 13,500Ft. above sea level.

We head back to over Babusar Pass 13,700ft one more time. Climbing up Babusar Pass from this end is challenging as it gets quite steep, however the super nice paved road makes it really fun.

One last day of riding through the hustle bustle of Abbottabad, we go through Nathia Gali before entering Islamabad.

Depending on the riders navigation around traffic, we can leave the motorcycles in Balakot and take our support trucks to Islamabad. Option to ride into Islamabad is always there, but the traffic is insane so we recommend driving into Islamabad and not riding.
