“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 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 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.

Women Only Nepal Trip Day 5: Samar - Lo Manthang Women Only Nepal Trip
Day 5: Samar - Lo Manthang

Finally — a morning without alarms! 
We took it slow, enjoyed breakfast, and only then hit the road toward Lo Manthang. It wasn’t a long ride in terms of distance, but since there’s zero asphalt up here, it took time — and a bit of effort.

We took a small detour to visit a monastery, which turned out to be one hell of a ride! A bit more technical, but for once, we had the road all to ourselves — just us, the bikes, and the mountains. Pure bliss.

At one of the passes, over 4,000 meters, we stopped for a coffee break — with a jaw-dropping view of the mighty Annapurna. 
Then we visited the Ghar Gompa Monastery, had a late lunch, and started descending toward Lo Manthang.

The last kilometers were rough — endless washboard and clouds of dust so thick you could almost chew them. My nose has been irritated for days, and when I blew the dust out of my helmet vent, I could only imagine what’s in my lungs! 
We even have a running joke among the ladies now:
“What’s in my nose?”
“Everything!”

But the scenery today made every bump and sneeze worth it. As we got closer to Lo Manthang, the landscapes changed completely — from snowy peaks to wind-carved, moonlike mountains in shades of red, brown, and grey.
This place truly feels like another planet.

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!
