Mountain biking in
Northern Pakistan is a very fine adventure among the beautifully
snow-caped mountains, through the fertile lands and fields. The unique
cultures of Hindu Kush Mountains, we bike along fabulous mountain
valleys on the un-paved roads. The true adventure starts at Dir from
here climbing up and down the Lowary Pass and bike through the
incredible sceneries of Chitral Valley. At Kalash, meeting Kafirs, who
are said to be the descendants of Alexander the Great’s Army and have an
old life style. Here, you have a chance to experience old culture of
Kafirs. Again, by climb up-wards reaching the Worlds Highest Polo Field
the Shandur Pass and then bike through the Ghazar and Punial valleys to
reach Gilgit. From Gilgit bike through Asia’s longest suspension bridge
to enter into the legendary Karakoram Highway, which reaches Karimabad,
the Capital of former Hunza State. In Hunza visit ancient Baltit Forts
standing on mountain cliffs. Eric Shipton had called “Hunza the ultimate
manifestation of mountain grandeur”. Hunzukuts are known for their
modesty, hospitality and longevity. On the way back to Islamabad,
visiting ancient rock carvings at Chilas and Shatial enriches
experiences.
