Meet the high-spirited Zenith Irfan- a twenty year old, young Pakistani girl who wishes to travel the whole world alone one day, not by plane, train, bus, car or even by foot; but shockingly via the saddle of her Honda motorbike!
Struck with wanderlust, the young adventuress has recorded everything about her journey on bike to Kashmir on her FB page “1 Girl 2 Wheels” which is brimming with inspiring experiences, motivational musings and breath-taking photographs as she traverse through the terrains of the northern land.

Zenith Irfan never lost faith in herself during the 3200 km journey to the northern areas of Pakistan. Being merely 20 years of age, Zenith decided to fulfill her late father’s dream of travelling the world on a bike.
Zenith has been breaking stereotypes in Pakistan since the age of 18 when she started to learn a motorbike.
“In 2013, when my brother bought his first motorcycle, he gave me riding lessons. It was then that I decided to journey on a motorcycle adventure — after gaining adequate training,” Zenith said.
The raison d’être behind Irfan’s traveling manifesto is the dream of her deceased dad who wanted to ride around the planet on a motorcycle. So sat the wandering soul on her bike and roared it through the dusty roads of Lahore all the way to Kashmir’s rocky landscape, courageously passing through dodgy destinations and rickety roads.

Passionate, crazy, rugged and daring, the Lahori lady has already completed her solo tour to the valleys of the Earth’s Paradise by being on road for just six days.

While the cheerful camper wears her bomber jacket and white helmet carrying many duffel bags on her bike, she seems like any other traveler. But wait till her helmet comes off and the world realizes she is a young maiden on a motor vehicle.

With her blog, Zenith aims to break through all the gender stereotypes, be a role model for the girls in the country to pursue their dreams and tell the planet that Pakistani females can independently travel on a bike without the fear of being raped or abused.
Riding solo, the Pakistani traveler is not afraid to embark on such a daring voyage. With no destination set, the wanderer continues with her exploration, touring one place at a time and aspiring to fulfill her dream to journey the entire world one day!
