DESCRIPTION

Embark on a life-changing adventure with the Chickistan motorcycle tour, a transformative journey that began in 2017 with 12 remarkable women from diverse corners of the world. Our epic adventure starts in Islamabad, the vibrant green capital, as we explore schools, hospitals, historical sites, and hidden gems across Pakistan's northern mountain region.

Now in its 5th year, Chickistan has become a celebrated summer tradition, showcasing the splendors of Pakistan. While Chickistan has always been a strictly women-only tour, this year, for the very first time, we're shaking things up. Riders are now permitted to bring along their plus ones.

Join us on an unforgettable ride from Islamabad to Naran, the gateway to majestic mountain ranges, and conquer the breathtaking Babusar Pass at 13,700 ft. Journey through Hunza and ascend to Khunjerab Pass at 15,400 ft, near the China-Pakistan Border, revealing the magnificence of the Karakoram Highway.

Immerse yourself in local culture, savor flavors, and experience Pakistan's renowned hospitality. Traverse the world's highest polo field at Shandur, explore Kalash's indigenous heritage, and retrace your path to Islamabad.

As the tour concludes, you'll depart with transformed perspectives, eager to return for more of Pakistan's captivating beauty. Join this initiative that not only enriches your life but contributes to Pakistan's flourishing tourism. Sign up now for an unforgettable adventure.
