On June the 10th I will be heading out east on my motorcycle towards Nepal. Taking my time the plan is to cross Europe, head up through Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan, taking the ferry from Baku across the caspian sea to traverse Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, crossing the Pamir mountains into Kyrgyzstan, down through the Xinjiang province of China, over the Karakoram range on the KHH into Pakistan. In Pakistan I am going to trek to the base of Nanga Parbat the ninth highest mountain at 8128m before continuing on to India and eventually onto Nepal.
