13 DAYS | LAND OF THE GIANTS | JUNE 2027

This tour is built for riders who want real variety: smooth tarmac, rough tracks, wide open spaces, and the kind of terrain that makes you sit up a little straighter on the bike. We kick things off on the world’s highest plateau, Deosai National Park (13,500 ft), known as Land of the Giants. It is a massive, open landscape where everything feels oversized: the silence, the sky, and the sense of freedom. Over 13 days and 12 nights, we move through northern Pakistan at a pace that lets you enjoy the miles instead of rushing through them. We start with a short flight to Skardu, grab the bikes, and ride straight into the mountains toward Deosai, where the scale of the landscape sets the tone for the journey. From there, we ride through small mountain villages and winding valleys until we arrive in Hunza Valley. Here, you get proper time to slow down, explore the forts, enjoy the cafés, take in the views, and reset for the next stretch. One of the biggest riding days is the push up to Khunjerab Pass, the highest paved border crossing in the world at over 15,000 ft. It is a long day, but every turn brings something incredible. After Hunza, we head into Shimshal, which feels like riding into a different world. The track is raw and narrow, with steep cliffs, wild scenery, and the kind of exposure that gets your attention. It is a challenging ride but rewarding, and riders always come back talking about this day. We then ride from Shimshal back toward Hunza and on to Skardu. It is a scenic stretch with rivers, high peaks, and villages tucked into the valley. The tour ends with a final night in Skardu before catching a flight back to Islamabad the next morning. Every night, you return to comfortable boutique stays with good food, hot showers (barring Shimshal), and a quiet place to settle in. This trip is not about rushing from checkpoint to checkpoint. It is about good riding, good company, and experiencing a part of the world that still feels untouched. If you want big mountains, real adventure, and a story worth telling, this ride delivers.
