14 DAYS | DESERT TO GLACIER - 2026

Welcome to the capital city Islamabad. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel. Explore Islamabad, visit the famous Faisal Mosque, eat at a local joint, do some last minute shopping before we venture out into the mountains.

Fly into Skardu, gear up, hop on the bikes and head to the Sarfaranga Cold Desert. Think golden dunes, epic mountain views, and your first taste of adventure on your 450 IBEX. Short ride, big vibes—let’s go!

Ride out from Skardu and head into the wild beauty of the Deosai Plains (the second highest Plateau in the world) The road gets a little rough as we climb, but it’s totally worth it—endless rolling plains, crystal-clear streams, and maybe even a glimpse of some Himalayan wildlife. We’ll glamp here under a hopefully starry sky. It’s pure, untouched nature, and it's absolutely breathtaking!

Cruise through the wild plains of Deosai—wide-open views, cool air, and maybe a marmot or two. Then drop into Astore Valley, where green meadows and rivers make it feel like a slice of paradise. Simple, raw, and unforgettable.

Roll out from Astore Valley to Raikot Bridge on smooth tarmac with killer mountain views—about 70 km of easy riding. From Raikot, it’s a bumpy jeep track to Tatto, around 17 km of pure adventure on rugged terrain. Once we hit Tatto, it’s time to stretch those legs—an uphill trek of about 3-4 hours (around 5 km) gets us to Fairy Meadows. The trail’s steep but worth it, with epic views leading up to the most magical meadows under Nanga Parbat.

Wake up to the surreal sight of Nanga Parbat (8,126m) towering above Fairy Meadows. Today is all about slowing down and soaking in the beauty of this alpine haven. Relax in the meadows, sip chai with a view, or explore the surrounding trails at your own pace. For those wanting to trek more, an optional trek to Beyal Camp takes you deeper into the wilderness, bringing you face-to-face with the mighty Nanga Parbat from its base camp.

The next day, we’ll trek back down from Fairy Meadows to Tatto—about 2-3 hours downhill, nice and easy. From there, it’s back on the jeep track to Raikot Bridge. Once we hit the road, it’s a smooth ride straight to Hunza, covering around 200 km of stunning scenery. Think roaring rivers, towering peaks, and the iconic Karakoram Highway leading us into the heart of Hunza. A day packed with adventure and epic views all the way!

After a solid breakfast with insane views of Rakaposhi, we’re giving the bikes a break and diving into Hunza vibes. We’ll stroll through Karimabad and the Hunza Bazaar, then cruise up to the 1000-year-old Baltit and Altit Forts for some tea and lunch with epic views of the Hunza River. On the way back, we’ll drop by CIQAM—a super cool, all-women woodworking factory. Then it’s back to the hotel for dinner and a little magic show from Moin.

From upper Hunza, riders will ride up the legendary Karakoram Highway to Khunjerab Pass—the highest paved border crossing in the world at a jaw-dropping 15,400 feet. It’s about 130 km one way, with towering peaks, yak herds, and unreal views all around. You’ll wrap up the day with an overnight stay in Gulmit

Or, if you’re craving something wilder, take the off-road route to Shimshal—a remote village accessed by one of the most dangerous tra in the world. Gravel trails, cliffside tracks, and adrenaline-pumping turns make this a ride for true adventurers.

Shimshal stands as one of the most remote and exhilarating valleys in the Gilgit-Baltistan province, and this leg of the journey is undoubtedly the riding highlight of our tour. Riders will embark on a thrilling adventure from Hunza to Shimshal Valley, navigating challenging terrains that will test their skills and spirit. Upon arrival in Shimshal, you'll get to interact with the incredible local women and possibly join in a football game with the local girls' football team, adding a truly memorable cultural experience to your adventure.

We will retrace our route from Shimshal back to the stunning Hunza Valley. Upon arrival in Hunza, we'll indulge in a delicious lunch at the famous Yak Grill. Afterward, we'll continue our journey to our final destination for the day, Gilgit.

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.

From Karimabad, we’ll ride to Skardu, covering around 280 km of breathtaking scenery. We’ll cruise along the newly built Jaglot road, offering twisties and smooth stretches. The route takes us through dramatic landscapes, with charming villages lining the way.

After an unforgettable adventure on the road, we’ll catch a scenic flight from Skardu to Islamabad.
