So, it was about the time to rent a bike. We arranged a motorbike through our guesthouse. It was conveniently delivered to us in the evening before, including two helmets we had asked for. It seems that almost none of the bikes here have mirrors on them, and neither did ours. Johanna was a good interactive mirror (and a navigator) anyway. Occasionally, she turned back to see what\u2019s going on behind us and reported to Seri. Now there\u2019s a car coming, now they are getting closer, now they are going to pass us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The beginning of our road trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we had some problems with starting the bike but soon learned the tricks, thanks to the helpful locals that are familiar with this kind of bikes. The first part of the journey was a bit hectic on the busy streets of Skardu. On the way Johanna remembered that she had forgotten her passport in the hotel and didn\u2018t have any copies with her either. This might turn out to be a problem if we had to pass some check points, but we didn\u2019t want to turn back anymore. Soon we did come to a checkpoint but luckily the officers were not interested in us at all but just let us pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breakfast at Shigar Valley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110765-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The beginning of the Cold Desert\" class=\"wp-image-2361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110765-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110765-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110765-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110765.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The beginning of the Cold Desert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110597-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Views over the Shigar Valley\" class=\"wp-image-2347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110597-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110597-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110597-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110597.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Views over the Shigar Valley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After driving for some time, we passed the beautiful Cold Desert and could see some stunning views. Then we arrived to Shigar and had a breakfast in a local food shack. We sat next to two chatty local men. After talking for some time about this and that, it turned out that other one of them was a policeman. We were asked to show our passports and to explain our route. As Johanna told that she had forgotten to take hers, it luckily wasn\u2018t a problem at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110607-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"In this town we had our breakfast\" class=\"wp-image-2349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110607-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110607-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110607-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110607.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>In this town we had our breakfast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discovering Shigar Valley with Muntazar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110611-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110611-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110611-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110611-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110611.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110622-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Not sure if we could cross this bridge with the bike\" class=\"wp-image-2351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110622-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110622-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110622-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110622.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Not sure if we could cross this bridge with the bike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We continued our way, cruising around in the idyllic setting with beautiful fields in autumn colors. We came to a bridge that didn\u2018t look too stable and were not sure if we could cross it with a motorbike or if we should take another route.

It\u2018s called Cold Desert for obvious reasons: as it is one of the highest located deserts in the world, the temperatures never get extremely hot in here and during the winter time the dunes are often covered with snow. It was a gorgeous place, but this was probably not the best point to enter it. We would have needed to walk for a few hours to reach the dunes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110770-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The dunes of the Cold Desert\" class=\"wp-image-2363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110770-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110770-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110770-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110770.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The dunes of the Cold Desert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110768-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"River flowing through the desert\" class=\"wp-image-2362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110768-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110768-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110768-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110768.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>River flowing through the desert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110773-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110773-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110773-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110773-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110773.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, our trip to Shigar Valley was really nice, thanks to the views and the people.
