“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

Not chasing destinations.
Chasing the feeling of getting there.

We’re Agata and Joris – two riders exploring the world on two wheels. From remote off-road tracks to long-distance journeys across continents, we share real stories, tested gear and the kind of adventure you can’t always plan.

When Agata came up with the idea to trade the rain When Agata came up with the idea to trade the rainy Polish autumn in 2024 for some tropical sunshine in Costa Rica with MotoBirds, it sounded like a genius plan. Well… she did find rain – just the warmer, wetter kind (not like the one you fine on Faroe Islands or in Scotland). But hey, when you’re in full adventure mode, you take it all in stride.

Check out a short recap of the trip posted on our website.

Women Only Nepal Trip Day 6: around Lo Manthang A Women Only Nepal Trip
Day 6: around Lo Manthang

Another day in Upper Mustang, and what a mix of fun, dust, and jaw-dropping views.

Today was meant to be an easy one — less riding, more exploring. But, as always, “easy” in Nepal has its own definition.
We left in the morning and hit the road… or rather off-road. The winding, narrow trail full of corrugations, rocks, and sand took us all the way up to 4,660 m above sea level — to the highest golf course in the world!

The view from up there? Unreal. The Annapurna Range in full glory, snow peaks sparkling under the sun. The bikes were clearly feeling the altitude — a bit short on oxygen — and so were we...

We played around a bit on the meadow, enjoying the moment, and then moved on to explore the ancient Jhong Caves.

After lunch back at the hotel, we switched gears and went… shopping! Or rather, wandering through the maze of Lo Manthang’s narrow streets — peeking into tiny shops, watching local life unfold, and occasionally getting properly lost. We even found a little local café before heading back for dinner and a well-earned rest.

Tomorrow, we start heading south again. 

[Agata]

Women Only Nepal Trip Last Day: Going Home Anothe Women Only Nepal Trip
Last Day: Going Home

Another early start - our adventure wan’t done yet, but it was time to head home. 
We left for the airport before sunrise, and even there, Nepal gave us one last gift - the Annapurna Range, glowing softly in the morning light, visible right from the runway.

The lovely lady at the check-in desk must’ve known we weren’t ready to say goodbye just yet - she gave us the best seats on the plane, with the mountains stretching below us for the whole flight. Watching those snow-covered peaks slide by… it was pure magic.

Back in Kathmandu, we returned to the Manaslu Hotel, where it had all started. Breakfast, hot showers, one shared room for a bit of rest - and then a slow, easy day of shopping, chatting, and squeezing out every last moment of Nepal’s charm.

Some of us treated ourselves to a massage (and honestly, it might have been the best one of my life!), while others wandered through the markets, collecting final souvenirs and tiny memories to take home.

And then came the hardest part - the goodbyes. Red scarves tied around our necks for safe travels, hugs all around, and a few teary smiles. 

Kasia and I took our flight back through Dubai, with a long layover that turned into a much-needed nap, and finally landed in Kraków the next day.

Nepal was unforgettable - the dust, the mountains, the laughter, the roads, and all the incredible women who shared them.

But as they say… there’s no place like home. And golden autumn in Kraków isn’t a bad place to come back to.

Women only Nepal Trip Day 3 - Kushma - Kalipani Women only Nepal Trip
Day 3 - Kushma - Kalipani

The dust and fumes from the past two days finally caught up with me — woke up with my nose and throat feeling pretty irritated. Not exactly the best start, but nothing a strong coffee and mountain air couldn’t fix.
So… the adrenaline options lost today.
No bungee, no zipline — just pure slow morning bliss. Coffee in hand, sun on our faces, and breakfast with a view. Honestly, no regrets.
Then came reality — crossing the long bridge back meant we arrived at the bikes already sweaty and tired, and the last thing anyone wanted was to squeeze into hot jackets and jump on sizzling saddles. But hey, adventure doesn’t wait!
The first stretch was on a bigger road — smooth enough — but soon it narrowed down while traffic stayed the same. Add in some damaged sections that turned into impromptu off-road, and things got interesting fast.
Fuel stop? Total chaos. Everyone fighting for the pumps, zero order, 100% Nepal style. 
And then the road just… fell apart. For bikes it was “fun,” for scooters and cars “adventurous,” and for buses and trucks — well, they don’t take prisoners. You move, or you’re moved.
We weaved through traffic jams, passed waterfalls, crossed a checkpoint, and then — just a few turns later — boom.
Our jaws dropped. Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna Range right in front of us, glowing in the evening light. And our lodge? Smack in the middle of that mountain paradise. 
Oh, and of course — I realised I’d left my Kindle back at the previous place. Luckily, I seem to have more luck than brains — they already called our guide, and I can pick it up in a few days when we loop back to Pokhara.
That makes it the second thing I’ve lost so far — the first was an earring at the airport.
And honestly, I rarely lose things… except that one time I left my MSR tent footprint in Senegal. So maybe it’s becoming a tradition. 😅
