Pamir to Karakoram - cycling the world’s highest roads

Follow us on a journey across the roof of the world - the Pamir and Karakoram Highways. Eight weeks, two bicycles and four largely unexplored countries, Tadjikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in western China and Pakistan. An adventure into the most remote and rugged landscapes on our planet. Discover yaks, 8000m peaks, frozen lakes and the world’s friendliest people. Battling snow, altitude and fatigue this trip was tough enough without the added consideration of film-making. Completed in total autonomy this film captures the very essence of why we travel - an incredible feat of filmography. Adventure cycling at it’s finest. Partez avec nous pour un voyage sur le toit du monde - la Pamir Highway et la Karakoram Highway. Huit semaines, deux vélos et quatre pays méconnus du grand public, le Tadjikistan, le Kirghizistan, la région autonome Ouïgour du Xinjiang en Chine et le Pakistan. Une aventure dans les montagnes les plus reculés de notre planète. Découvrez les yaks, les sommets de 8000m, les lacs gelés et les gens les plus sympathiques au monde. Lutter contre la neige, l’altitude et la fatigue, ce voyage a été difficile sans compter le tournage de ce film. Réalisé en totale autonomie, ce film saisit l’essence même de la raison pour laquelle nous voyageons. Le vélo d’aventure par excellence.
