Bonjour!
I am Olivier Muzard, 49 years old and Jules’s father. I have been cycling since I was a kid in France. I organized my first bike trip with my 2 children Jules and Augusta 6 years ago. We visited France several times and made a big 3 weeks trip across Europe 2 years ago. I spent holidays to discover new regions, new countries and new cultures by bike. And this is my new passion, bikepacking, a true way of life.
My other passion is Asia and especially the Himalayas. I discovered Himalayas 10 years ago when I went to Daramsha in India to meet the Dalaï Lama. Since I am a big fan of Himalayan regions and culture, I made a 4 weeks trek in Nepal in 2010 around Manaslu mountain and an other Trek last year near Pokara in Nepal. Everything in relation with Himalayan people, culture or countries interest me a lot.
Thus when I had the opportunity to visit Pakistan with Jules this year, I was excited. This 2 weeks bike trip in Karakoram region is a huge opportunity to discover Pakistan’s history, culture, people and mountains. Riding across the Karakoram valley, reaching the Khunjerav pass at 4700 m is really a big challenge! I hope everything will be fine and not too hard! I am so excited and proud to do that, without no restriction I am sure it will be amazing. I would thank Ali Alam for his organization of our trip.
Now the show must go on!!!
