“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 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 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!

Some trips stay with you longer. And some… take 9 Some trips stay with you longer.
And some… take 9 months to finally make it to the blog 😉

ACT Montenegro & Albania was one of those rides — raw, challenging, beautiful, and very real.

We’ve wrapped the whole story into one post — from the first rocky climbs in Durmitor to the final gin at the finish line.

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

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.
