Plz tell me did u use ur Pakistani Passport or are u a national of any other country???
And if i only have Pakistani passport, then how can I apply for multiple visas like u…
He have dual passport…and by the way forget about getting visa on pakistani Passport…its the most hard task now a days 😉
When I was travelling in 2011, I got all the required visas on Pakistani Passport. Difficult, yes, but not impossible.
Thanx..
But what is the process of applications for visas of multiple countries as a biker?
Your stamina is really best. I have no stamina even i am driving. Cycling is a toughest job and You done it. Congrat for Happy Ending.

Welcome to Pakistan dear.
With three flats in a row.
I was told by my elder brother about you and when I gone through facebook profile i was surprized to look and felt you boastful that your are Pakistani and i hit on that we should go risk we should take bold step to explore and do what ever you we want to.. you have examplified the adventure you are the motivation for me and I felt so heartbroken at your mother death may she reach the exalted heavens you are an inspiration for our nation….
Kamran Sir, you did an incredible job .
Kamran.. (tipu sultan) 🙂
Is the cost of gear included in your expenditure or only during journey ??

Hi Kamaran Sb. I followed you every bit of your both journeys 2011 and 2015 because I am very fond of cycling.
I am from Multan. During my school and college day , I used to cycle about 30-35 or 40 Km one go. Multan to Muzaffargarh, Multan to Khanewal, most of times to BZU. Your passion reminded me all my school and college days.
All my friend used to call me Mad and fauji as my father is in army.
Sorry to write that much, but it is due to your inspiration. I feel good and I wish someday I do this because as Pakistani we need to do this and tell the world who we are.
really a great struggle . ALLAH help you in life

Great job Bro,
People like you make us believe. .. Pakistanis are talented people with strong will.
We are proud of you. Fi aman Allah
Hats off to you kamran bhai.
I have a planned to go canada through bike. I hope Allah will help me in achieving my dream journey. A big problem is Pakistani passport we can’t do any thing due to this 🙁
Kamran bhai you are most inspirational personality I have ever seen. And I am lucky that I met you coincidentally yes only for 30 seconds on the road of G.11 Islamabad. But those 30 seconds were more than 30 years for me. Live long happy life 🙂
you should plan another journey
WOW! You are a great inspiration!
I think money spent is really small. You made it really economical if this is 5600 Euros.
Wonderful mate… you did great… Proud of you…

If you ever want to make a book out of your pictures and articles that you wrote along the way then i would love to do the design part for you voluntarily. You have great resource and i recomend you document it for coming genrations to come 🙂

GEO to AISE
Kamran.
Well done. I feel honoured as I also hail from Multan. What a wonderful and inspirational journey you have undertaken. It is inspiring me to undertake the journey even at the age of 56.
I strongly suggest that you must put down in writing all the essential planning guidelines for those Pakistanis and others who are inspired and contemplating to undertake similar journeys.
Its a great adventure you have undertaken. Do you intend publishing the photographs along with a small description of each, like where, when, what?
I’ll buy the publication and see the world through your experience.
Good luck Kamran.
Dear Kamran:
I just say, you did a great expedition. In coming years many outdoor lovers will follow your track. Please write on your journey.
Kind Regards
Naveed
You are amazing! Keep it up!
Salute Sir.

I followed you every bit of your both journeys 2011 and 2015 because I am very fond of adventures n visiting such great nature.
I am from Lakki Marwat near to DIKHan Mainwali.
it is due to your inspiration. I feel good and I wish someday I do this because as Pakistani we need to do this and tell the world who we are.
You are an Iron Man. Hats Off to you
Sir, we all Pakistani are proud of you that only one Pakistani a middle class citizen with no political background has won hearts and honor for Pakistan … you are a true ambassador, superstar ,leader and the person who can lead you to a goal for all Pakistanis. You have endangered your life, carrier and your family but what you have achieved is incomparable i.e. dignity for your country and family.
I have checked all your profile KAMRAN ON BIKE…. It is much interesting and informative for All. The heart taking sceneries which you have photographed in such a way that can’t be described in words … you are the best photographer n award must be given to you. I have checked different photographs of different persons but no one can match you,,, you are lifted the photography to a better level that one can imagine.
The scenery you photographed with such a lovely caption you have added with it, one can’t say that you are on bike but feel that he is biking and visiting these scenic places.
Sir you have given us idea of different cultures, cities with their citizen behavior, different countries hospitality and picnic spots in different cities in 16 countries in such a positive way that is loved. You have shared every moment of the tour with us which are interesting like in Tajikistan / kerghzystan interaction with hosted families, females on the other side of river and turkey while moving towards the Iran with Iranian family. On the other side you have told us about harsh behavior of Turkmenistan police and also about cheapness of food and hotels in different countries.
At Last but not least …. When you entered Pakistan you have described the gilgitbaltistan in similar way as other country’s area which I appreciate but after that you may be in hurry situation to celebrate Eid with your family that you could not captioned , photograph the areas like Abbottabad the military city of Pakistan ,, Hasanabdal’s Gordwarah that may give good impression of Pakistan that there are also Holly Places of SINGs other than Muslims. You also not captioned your destination in such a way that you have used in other countries ,,may be due to some reasons .
FINALLY Sir you have done such a great job that is immeasurable and should continue it to promote tourism by bike that is much needed in Pakistan which have different beautiful places but can’t promoted by government.
ALL GIVE THE COURAGE AND SABAR ON YOUR BELOVED MOTHER DEATH.
LONG LIVE PAKISAN LONG LIVE KAMRAN.

I want to read your experience in book form as I like to read travelogue of Mustansar Hasab Tarar. Wat say.
Wow! What an amazing journey. Congratulations!
I am wondering how did you get Turkmenistan Visa. Turkey, iran and EU i have, need to know if there is a package deal one can get for Turkmenistan, Uzbek, Kyrgyzstan and Tajik visas?
There is no such thing as a package deal. You have to apply separate visas for all countries.
You are the future icon of cycling…!
Best of luck buddy

No words to express your will and stamina stronger than an iron. Congratulations.
I hope you make it through more destinations in future. I made a 145 km trip to a nearby city last week in a day and the experience was so good. Keep it up?
And by the way how did you reach that maximum speed of 177 kph? Thats too much? On the downs? How did you maintain our balance?
Excellent journey and the photo journal. Awesome photos and best of all were your comments for each photo. Felt like we were travelling with you along the way. Way to live. Wish you many adventures ahead!
I would like to thank you for making us proud and being a Pakistani u did job well. Its all your parents prayers and with the Grace of Allah Almighty and with your passion as well….

Awesome achievement and pics are really beautiful ,wish to be part of yours next journey …… and want to enjoy and feel the nature on bicycle.
I had been searching for some motivation for years to go on a similar trip. To know whether someone from Pakistan has actually done it before. Thanks for being an inspiration .
Waaao You are amazing. God bless you more success and health. Among 16 countries which country has more loving and hostile peoples?
well done brother….we all are proud of you…. keep the flag up…would like to invite you for short visit to university of applied sciences ingolstadt.
