The thought of travelling in Pakistan is always doubted, let alone travelling in Pakistan as an 18 year old on a bicycle (bike-packing). Well, that is precisely what I am doing this summer with two of my French mates (Jules and Oliver Muzard). I would be the youngest person to do this extreme bicycle touring in the mighty Karakorum Mountains, also sometimes called the eight wonder of the world.
The idea was not well received by my family and friends who thought I was crazy for cycling around Pakistan as they were concerned for my safety and the fact that I couldn’t possibly do such an extreme tour. And the old question of ‘To Do or Not To Do’ was raised. ….I had to definitely do it now because my rebel nature wouldn’t let me sit in peace without not having opposed what the others said.
It’s 15th of July today, I have been training and preparing for my first mega tour and in only few weeks time from now I will leave for the Mountains.
It is a fact that every great leap forward in human life begins with risk taking.
