RIDING IN PAKISTAN

Motorbike Tours on the Greatest Mountain Roads

Northern Pakistan has some of the most spectacular roads on earth: the Karakoram Highway to the Chinese border, the Babusar and Shandur passes, and the dirt track across the Deosai Plains. Riding them by motorbike is one of the best ways to feel the scale of the mountains.

Our motorbike tours include bike hire, fuel, a support vehicle with a mechanic and spare parts, an experienced ride leader, hotels and guesthouses, and help at every checkpoint. You ride; we handle the rest.

FAQ

Motorbike Tours FAQ

More questions? See our Pakistan travel FAQ, read reviews from our guests, or plan your trip with our team.

What bikes do you use?

We use reliable 150–250cc motorbikes that are easy to repair on mountain roads. Larger adventure bikes can sometimes be arranged on request.

Can I bring my own motorbike?

Yes, with the right customs documents (such as a carnet). We can help with planning and ride with you in support.

Do I need experience to join?

You should be a confident rider. The Babusar Pass tour suits riders with basic touring experience; the Deosai, Shandur and Grand tours need off-road experience.

Is there a support vehicle?

Yes. Every tour has a support vehicle with a mechanic, spare parts and luggage, so you ride with a light bike.

When is the best time for a motorbike tour in Pakistan?

May to October, with July to September the only time when all high passes and Deosai are open.
