This week, I take on a brand new challenge: cycling through Northern Pakistan—solo! 🚴‍♀️ Starting from Skardu, I rented a bike and set out towards Khaplu, with plans to visit some cool spots along the way.
From navigating the streets of Skardu to discovering hidden gems like Marsur Rock (Pakistan's answer to Trolltunga!), this trip definitely was way out of my comfort zone. Between struggling with sketchy bike gears, making unexpected friends, and going on a mission to find a bunch of rocks, this adventure proved that sometimes the best experiences come from simply saying "yes" to something new :)

What's in this video:
*First Time on a Bicycle: Renting a bike in Skardu and learning that female cyclists are quite the novelty here
*Mission to Marsur Rock: A steep climb to one of Pakistan's most photogenic rocks
*Journey to Sermik: Solo cycling through Gilgit-Baltistans valleys. The autumn colours made it even better!
*Local Connections: From curious onlookers to helpful strangers, I experienced true Pakistani hospitality
*Finding the Chocolate rocks: a place so mysterious it isn’t even marked on the map.
