“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.

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. 😅

Women Only Nepal Trip Day 2: Bandipur - Kushma A Women Only Nepal Trip 
Day 2: Bandipur - Kushma

Alarm set for 5:45 — because who can miss a Himalayan sunrise, right?
The viewing point was already buzzing with people, but I managed to catch the first golden rays over (supposedly) Manaslu before the clouds rolled in and wrapped everything in fog.
By the time we started riding, the sky had cleared — perfect timing.

The small roads quickly turned into proper rocky and muddy twisty tracks. Finally, some real riding! 😉
And the scenery… unreal. Terraced rice fields, banana palms, and snow-covered peaks in the background. Sometimes they felt too close to even notice — I had to “zoom out” my vision just to take it all in.

Riding through Pokhara was another story. Let’s just say… “traffic rules” are a flexible concept here. 😅 But once you go with the flow, it actually becomes fun — chaotic harmony at its best.

There were also faster sections and twisties . I might’ve leaned a little too much at one point and scraped my left boot on the tarmac. 

We finished the day navigating through narrow village streets with the sun blinding us from the front — could barely see a thing. And then came the highlight: crossing a 230-meter hanging bridge over the river to reach our resort for the night. What a finish!

Tomorrow’s menu: zipline, swing, or bungee jump (yes, seriously 😅). Or maybe just chilling before the next leg of the journey. Either way — the adventure continues!

Women only Nepal Trip Day 0 – What a Day! From Kr Women only Nepal Trip
Day 0 – What a Day!

From Kraków through Dubai to Kathmandu - the adventure has officially begun!
Kasia and I teamed up for the trip, and after a long night of flying, we landed in Nepal around 6:30 AM. What a contrast to Dubai’s glitz - Kathmandu felt raw, real, and alive from the very first moment.

Of course, immigration wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. Our visa applications were “not quite right,” so we joined one queue… only to find out we needed to queue again (twice!) to redo the process. Oh well - could’ve been worse!

Our luggage was already spinning on the belt (my brand-new light-colored bag came out unrecognizably dirty 😅). Then we grabbed some local cash and met the local team waiting for us at the airport. They greeted us with the warmest welcome - beautiful garlands made of marigolds.

After check-in at the hotel, we got a lovely welcome tea (so good!) and breakfast before finally catching up on some sleep. We definitely earned that nap after an overnight journey.

Later, we met up with the rest of the ladies, picked up our bikes - mine’s a black Royal Enfield Himalayan that still needs a name, so hit me with your ideas! 🖤 - had our first briefing, and went out for a traditional Nepali dinner.

The evening was unforgettable: delicious food (minus the coriander 😅), Yeti craft beer, local rice moonshine, and live dance performances. At some point, we even ended up on stage trying traditional Nepali dance moves we’d never seen before - and it was pure fun. 

We were also showered with gifts - T-shirts, stickers, soap (yes, soap!), and keyrings with names of 8,000-meter peaks. Mine is Dhaulagiri (8,168 m) - fingers crossed we get to see it on the way!

Tired but happy, with great team vibes and that electric feeling before the first ride. Tomorrow, the adventure truly begins!
