The Ultimate Hike a Bike to Rakaposhi Base Camp, Pakistan | Ep. 7

Описание: Now this is what we are looking for! Now that we’ve found one, we know where to find more.

This was one of the most amazing places that we have ever been and the single track was unreal! 100% rideable (but we took a couple of more challenging lines near the bottom). This was an amazing two-day trip that was a gut buster of a climb, especially walking in the hottest part of the day. But it was worth it before we had even started riding down. The views were 360 degrees all day everyday!

Next time, we are off to Passu!

Rakaposhi Base Camp was about 4 hours of walking up. Super steep in places, tea and cola at the camps, and the option to hire all camping gear and full dinner and breakfast at the top. Epic. On the way down we took it all in and took our time as we descended the 1700m back down to Minapin.

We only have one more multi-day in us but we will keep riding every day!
