Not discipline. Not ambition. The thing that moves you before you've agreed to go.
The word isn't in the name by accident. It's in how the days are shaped.
What is Junoon? →Islamabad to Skardu. Fourteen days.
The Karakoram Highway runs 1,300 kilometers from Punjab through the valleys of Kashmir, over Babusar Top at 4,173 meters, north through Hunza to Khunjerab Pass at the Chinese border — the highest paved international crossing on earth — then south and east to Skardu at the base of K2. The road took twenty years to build. More than 7,000 glaciers. More than any country outside the polar regions.
Follow the expedition.
The route. The cost. What two weeks on the Karakoram actually looks like.
Send the Details →Pakistani-American. Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi. I've hitchhiked nearly every corner of Pakistan and spent years in the country across multiple trips — the north, several times over.
93 countries over nine years. Hiked the Darién Gap. Hitchhiked through Sudan during the revolution. A month in Afghanistan. Rode the Pan-American Highway to Ecuador. Alaska commercial fishing every summer since 2020.
This is not a budget tour or an inflated one. Every dollar goes toward the operators, the support, and the infrastructure that makes a safe expedition possible in one of the world's most demanding terrains.
We run with Pakistan Bikers — over ten years of experience on these specific roads, with these specific bikes, in these specific conditions. Their knowledge is built into the price.
Maximum 10 riders. Full cancellation terms and participant agreement provided upon acceptance. Travel insurance required.
A dedicated support vehicle follows the group throughout. Gear, supplies, and a fallback if you or your bike need it.
A licensed mechanic from Pakistan Bikers travels with us. These roads demand it. You won't be solving problems alone.
Maximum 10 riders. Small enough that you're never anonymous. Large enough to manage the unexpected.
Not everyone who applies will be a fit — and that's the point. Applications are reviewed personally. Every applicant hears back within 5 business days.
