DESCRIPTION

Chickistan is back, and this year, we’re riding with FreeW, founded by Alison Grun, a seasoned French motorcyclist with a wealth of experience riding across Europe, the US, Africa, and Asia. With years of adventure touring under her belt, Alison brings a deep passion for exploring the world on two wheels and empowering riders along the way.

We start in Islamabad and head straight for the mountains. The ride takes us through the lush valleys of Naran, over the stunning Babusar Pass (13,700 ft), and onto the legendary Karakoram Highway. We’ll ride into Hunza, push up to Khunjerab Pass (15,400 ft) at the China-Pakistan border, and soak in some of the most unreal landscapes out there.

But this isn’t just about the riding. Along the way, we’ll meet incredible people, eat way too much good food, and experience places most travelers never get to see. We’ll take on the Shimshal “Death Road”, ride through the wild beauty of Phander and Mastuj, and spend time in Kalash Valley, home to one of the most fascinating indigenous communities in the world. Oh, and we’ll cross Shandur Pass, the highest polo field on Earth—because why not?

By the time we make it back to Islamabad, it won’t just be about the miles we’ve covered. It’s the stories, the friendships, and the kind of adventure that sticks with you long after the ride is over.

If that sounds like your kind of trip, book your spot now.
