11 Days Kenny Karakoram (Malaysia)

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.

On your second day in Pakistan, we kick off our adventure with an early morning flight from Islamabad to the mesmerising city of Skardu. Upon arrival, we’ll meet our bikes and gear up for a ride to the second highest plains in the world: Deosai National Park for a night of glamping under the stars.

We begin our descent from the awe-inspiring Deosai Plains back to Skardu, riding through rugged terrains that offer spectacular views of towering peaks and sweeping valleys. Once we reach Skardu, we transition onto a newly built tarmac road, a significant upgrade from the previous route towards the city of Gilgit. This well-paved route not only saves time but also offers a smooth ride with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, winding along the banks of the roaring Indus River and through picturesque valleys.

Today, we make our way to the legendary Hunza Valley. The ride from Gilgit to Passu takes you through the stunning Hunza Valley, with panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, deep gorges, and the iconic Rakaposhi mountain. Winding roads along the Karakoram Highway lead to the serene village of Passu, famed for its dramatic glaciers and the towering Passu Cones.

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. We will ride up to the top and return back to Passu.

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. This time Karimabad, central Hunza. En-route, we'll indulge in a delicious lunch at the famous Yak Grill.

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.

This will be our last day on the bikes. We will ride back to Skardu for a night, indulge in a delicious farewell dinner before our flight back to Islamabad.

Descending to Islamabad, we'll take a scenic morning flight from Skardu to Islamabad offering breathtaking aerial views of Pakistan's majestic Karakoram and Himalayan ranges. Snow-capped peaks (including K2 and Nanga Parbat), valleys, lakes and winding rivers create a stunning backdrop as you descend into the capital, making this a scenic and unforgettable journey through some of the world's most dramatic landscapes.
