Our longest and most complete expedition: twenty-two days and 2,640 km through every major range in northern Pakistan. Ride the Hindu Kush culture trail to Kalash Valley and Shandur Pass, the full length of the Karakoram Highway to Shimshal and Chapursan, and finish at Askole, the last motorable village before the trekking trail to K2 base camp, the world’s second-highest mountain.

Our most complete northern Pakistan motorcycle adventure. Fourteen days from Islamabad, with a flight straight into Skardu, covers the full range of what this region does best, the royal fort at Khaplu, Deosai’s high plateau, the trek to Nanga Parbat base camp, and the Karakoram Highway all the way to Khunjerab Pass on the Chinese border.

The full sweep of northern Pakistan in fourteen days, with no road repeated. Start under the Himalaya at Nanga Parbat’s Fairy Meadows, cross into the Karakoram for Shimshal and Chapursan, then finish in the Hindu Kush over Shandur Pass and two days in Kalash Valley. A one-way route: rides start in Skardu and finish in Chitral.

A cultural ride through Pakistan’s Hindu Kush, from the pine forests of Swat and Kumrat to Shandur Pass, home of the world’s highest polo ground, and down into the Kalash valleys, where the Kalasha people still keep a pre-Islamic religion, language and calendar found nowhere else on earth. Starts and ends in Skardu, with Deosai Plateau as the opening act.

Thirteen days built around the roads that go furthest ,to Hushe, the final settlement before the Karakoram’s giant peaks take over, to Fairy Meadows and the base of Nanga Parbat (8,126m), and out along the Karakoram Highway to Shimshal and the Chinese border corridor. A tour for riders who want to see where the road actually ends.

A ride defined by altitude. Eleven days take you from 2,300m river valleys to within reach of 5,000m mountain passes, Deosai’s alpine plateau, the remote Shigarthang Valley, the legendary Shimshal road, and Chapursan, whose village of Zoodkhun is the very last settlement on the Karakoram Highway corridor before the Chinese border at Khunjerab Pass.

Built for riders who want the Karakoram’s biggest names without cutting corners on support. Ride to Passu, cross into the thin air of Khunjerab Pass at the Chinese border, explore Deosai’s alpine plateau and take on the Shimshal road ,all with a dedicated backup vehicle handling your luggage and mechanical support at every stage, so you can focus entirely on the ride.

Two of northern Pakistan’s defining landscapes, back to back. Fly into Skardu and ride straight onto the Deosai Plateau ,a treeless, 4,114m-high wilderness home to the Himalayan brown bear ,then turn north onto the old Silk Road corridor: the Karakoram Highway through Hunza and Passu, all the way to Khunjerab Pass at the Chinese border. Ten days, 1,165 km, flying in and out of Islamabad.

Follow a modern route along the old Silk Road, by private coach from Islamabad through the Kaghan Valley and over Babusar Pass to Gilgit, then by motorcycle along the Karakoram Highway to Khunjerab Pass, 4,693m above sea level and the highest paved international border on earth. Along the way: the cliff-edge Shimshal road, rated among the most dramatic in the world, and a night beside Pakistan’s own cold desert in Skardu.

Ride to Pakistan’s highest and most remote corners in ten days. Cross Deosai, the world’s second-highest alpine plateau, reach Hushe, the last inhabited village of the Karakoram, and hike to the base of Nanga Parbat (8,126m), the ninth-highest mountain on earth. Between the passes, you’ll pass through valleys where daily life has barely changed in a generation. Starts and ends in Skardu.
