Welcome to my exciting solo Motorcycle Journey from Sweden to Nepal! The Taftan border became one of the craziest challenges during this motorcycle adventure. Stuck for almost a week due to a strike, I faced intense mental and physical strain that pushed me to my breaking point. It was a test of patience and endurance, and I often found myself questioning whether I could keep going.

A traveler recounts a grueling journey through Pakistan, beginning with a five-day confinement at a police station. After finally being released, they navigate a dangerous, sandstorm-ridden route toward Quetta, battling extreme physical and mental exhaustion during a 19-hour, 700-kilometer ride characterized by military checkpoints and safety risks.
Five persons got killed yesterday when they went on this road and went to the supermarkets.
Yes, we will go, I'm sorry.
So, extremely tired. I'm seeing double.
Yeah, this is so dangerous, man.
We are still stuck here in the levee station.
Yeah, what can I tell about today? We have a sandy day.
It's a storm out here, so we have a lot of dust flying all over.
So we are trying to suffer, go through this.
Sleeping a lot.
Just trying to stay in the room. We have one fan over there, so we sleep there.
Just take it easy, just do not waste energy.
What you basically do is try to survive during 12 o'clock until 7 or 8 o'clock.
Because then it's cooler and the sun has set, so it's much nicer.
You can start to live again.
During these hours everyone is pretty low and trying to survive as good as they can.
But we are a good group here from different parts of the world.
We have Germans, we have Portuguese, Chinese, from Afghanistan.
Yeah, all over, which is great.
So we can share the experience and I don't have to be here alone.
I'm so thankful for that.
I don't know a lot more about this day. We are just waiting.
We have no answers from the people.
Still going on stuff here.
They say that we go at 11 this morning, we didn't go.
They say we go tonight, we want to go.
They are just trying to keep our hopes up, but it's not gonna happen.
Which is okay.
They are keeping us safer and that I'm so thankful for.
We are safe.
It will be out there.
But that's not good.
It was actually 5 persons who got killed yesterday when they went on this road.
And went to the supermarket.
People was just mad, you know.
Safety first.
But here is my darling.
Waiting to go.
She has some time to rest now.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Yeah, and this is one of the beds.
Some people are sleeping here.
All around this area.
And here we go again.
Now they told us that we are going in an hour.
So it's 7.30.
Let's see if that's true.
I'm doubting.
So much sand coming.
But still, hope is here.
Hope is here all the time.
Same story again.
We are not going.
They let us prepare.
People are going mad here.
It's not a good night.
I can tell you.
I mean it's for our safety.
But we are so tired here.
Mental exhausted.
Physical exhausted.
It's a never ending story.
So I just unpacked everything and I will go to bed now.
Tomorrow is another day.
See you tomorrow.
This is how they entertain us.
In the hard times.
He is trying to catch Hendrik.
So once again.
1 o'clock they want us to leave now.
So let's see if that's true.
You can't believe that this is finally happening.
We are moving.
I'm so excited.
I'm so happy.
5 days in this.
Sorry prison.
I mean they do everything to protect us.
Which I appreciate the most.
But I need to leave now.
We are going mental in here.
Alrighty.
Let the adventure continue.
No!
Baby girl.
Thank you guys.
Take care.
Bye bye.
Have a good one.
Thank you man.
Take care.
And we are out.
So the guys in front.
The cyclist is from Portugal.
And we have a Turkish guy with a backpack.
And that's the Mexican woman with the orange dress.
And in front of me we have the tour leaders of this group.
The German and Austrian group.
So.
We are finally on the move.
Today is a little bit of a sandstorm.
It's actually pretty good.
I prefer like this foggy instead of clear full sun on.
I'm very happy for that.
I'm very curious.
The temperature is great right now.
And we have water.
We have everything.
Look at those trucks.
Oh my god.
You are going to see so many beautiful painted trucks.
I'm happy with the choice of the day.
Instead of going yesterday in the evening.
The girls are going at 10 o'clock.
That's not my favorite thing to travel in the night.
This is much better.
And that one we are going to.
Some people said we are going to go to Quetta.
And that's 700 kilometers.
And it is.
What is she?
It's not like that time.
It's like 1.30 or something.
That means we will arrive at 4 a.m. tonight.
In the morning.
So that's not an option.
So I guess Dalbandin is the way to go.
So let's hit the road.
We leave Taftal.
Finally.
Yeah.
This is another level.
Windy.
Sandy.
Packed with all the 4000 people that was waiting in the border to cross.
Buses are packed.
All packed.
We don't really know what's going on.
But the military is blocking the way out there.
So might be some activity maybe.
So it's a great opportunity to stop and to drink some water.
But yeah.
It's a long road with just buses on the way here.
People are praying.
Relaxing.
Yeah.
10 kilometers per hour.
Military in the front.
I'm suspecting that it can be something happening in the front.
It's a risk of course.
I think it was 10 or 15 people got killed just two days ago on this road.
In a village.
So yeah.
Things are happening.
I'm very glad I'm in this group.
I have people with me.
Instead of riding alone.
These last few days in jail.
You're starting to appreciate every single thing you have in your life.
Like the appreciation of a bed.
The appreciation of cold water.
Water overall.
Clean clothes.
A toilet that works.
A working fridge.
This was really like being in a prison.
But a nice prison.
More freely prison with cool people.
And cool policemen.
Here we have the camel family.
My first camel family in Pakistan.
Chilling.
Relaxing.
Enjoying life.
Guys, this is another level.
This is another level.
You gotta have patience.
I realized that our...
The Levies?
They're not here anymore.
We're driving by ourselves for like an hour now.
I don't know.
Maybe they're coming in a checkpoint there.
I love how it's turning in the middle of the desert.
And here comes the next turn.
And a little turn.
Let's see if they have some fuel maybe.
There?
The bottle?
Okay, so next.
Let's see what I have here maybe.
Let's find some petrol.
Ready?
Take it.
3000 rupees for a full tank.
Very good, very good.
Maybe we can throw it in here.
Yes, we will go.
I'm sorry, we need to drink and fill up.
Dalbandin.
Waiting for Ricky.
They don't like us to be here.
It's filled with militaries.
We are going.
Dalbandin.
This is where we will stop for tonight.
Yeah.
That is so impressive how they can fit all this stuff.
It's a piece of art.
We're trying to find a police station.
We have no levies with us on the way so we can drive as fast as we wanted.
Which was great.
But...
Yeah, now we don't know where we're going to live.
We tried to enjoy the ride.
It is something going on on this road.
So we stopped and we are figuring out what to do actually.
Some shootings, demonstration there.
So we might have to stop here in the middle of nowhere.
I'm so happy for that though.
Because I can't do the whole way to Quetta.
I'm dead in my body, in my soul.
Everything is just...
Alright.
I'm gonna call it for tonight.
The road is blocked over there.
So we can't continue.
So he thought to bring us back to Talbandin.
And I said no, no, no, no, no.
If we can sleep in a restaurant or anywhere else here, we do that.
So they took us here to like a resort.
A military resort or somehow.
So we're sleeping here.
I'm sleeping outside.
And the wind is so nice.
We have beds and they fed us and it was so kind.
Big thanks to them.
The military is here.
So I'm gonna go to sleep now.
And probably continue tomorrow.
Or the wind goes up in a couple of hours and we continue.
So I will try to rest my eyes.
I have so much sand in my eyes.
Which is hurting a lot.
So I need to rest them.
And a little headache on that as well.
So I see you tomorrow.
Change plans.
We are going now.
Because we slept like one hour.
So let's go.
Bikes.
But they are not there.
I'm not going.
I think they are somewhere over there.
I don't know.
Somewhere over here in Aden.
I see all the buses are waiting here to go.
It's filled packed with the people who was in the border.
So we're all gonna go together.
To Quetta.
As fast as possible.
Yeah.
We just want to get there now.
I don't want to be stuck anymore.
One o'clock now.
One thirty or something.
I don't even know.
Just try to stay awake.
That's the thing.
Stay awake.
Most important.
What is it?
One, two, three.
Three thirty.
Right now.
So we have.
Two and a half hours.
Three hours left.
Around 200 km.
But we're only driving 60 km per hour.
So yeah.
It's gonna take much longer.
Wow.
They are shining.
Piece of art.
We're going upwards.
A lot.
Pretty steep.
Maybe it takes a long time to get up.
I don't know.
But when you have a motorcycle you can pass.
And I am.
So extremely tired.
I'm seeing double.
And.
Yeah.
No one takes a break.
It's the front that decides.
But I can't catch up with them.
So.
Yeah this is so dangerous.
Man.
I mean the ride with the traffic.
Yeah sure that's dangerous too.
But.
This is the most dangerous part.
When you're riding.
When you're almost sleeping.
That is.
Crazy.
Right now I'm trying to.
To take my hand and rub my eyes.
I'm singing inside my helmet.
I'm standing up.
I'm sitting down.
I'm doing everything I can to stay awake.
My brain is so.
Not feeling well after the five days in the.
Police station.
So this is one of the reasons.
Why I am so tired I guess.
And not had a proper bed.
For a long time.
This is the result.
It's very dangerous.
Very very dangerous.
I don't like this at all actually.
Temperature is nice.
32 degrees perhaps.
It is sort of less traffic.
At least now.
Otherwise it has been pretty.
Intense with all the trucks and buses.
Can you see?
Sunrise is ongoing.
It's 5.30 in the morning.
We just had a break for 10 minutes.
Definitely could need 20 minutes.
Break but.
Take what you get.
It looks like nice.
These tents.
Could easily sleep there.
So when you're tired you start hallucinating.
Like I thought the two motorcycles were.
Cars apparently.
Like in the middle of when I was driving.
I was like oh ---- that's not good.
But.
We're soon at the destination.
This guy in front of me.
He's the optimist.
He's the most positive guy I met.
And strong.
Wow.
Happy face.
Keep on going.
Be my big support.
I appreciate that.
Believe it or not.
But I'm freezing a little bit.
That was a long long long time ago.
But we are going up in the elevation.
Elevation.
Altitude.
That's so correct.
I should have like 30-33 degrees or something.
During the days.
That's great.
So it's getting cooler and cooler.
For every place we go to.
In the north.
I don't know if I told you.
I'm a little bit lost right now.
But 16 hours.
16 hours.
That's how many hours we've been riding.
Day and night.
700 kilometers.
That's the record.
And I'm not doing it again.
Ever in my life.
Awful.
I always like to interact with the locals around here.
But I don't even have energy for anything.
Not even a smile.
I don't like that.
We are here at the hotel.
Today we've been riding 19 hours.
Not today but yesterday and today.
We started 1 o'clock yesterday.
In the day.
And we ended the ride 9 o'clock today.
10 o'clock.
I am so dead.
But you know I'm coming to the limit that you become more active now.
I will never do that again.
Ever in my life.
That was not nice.
But.
It had to be done.
But.
I'm so dangerous.
So don't go to Grand Hotel if you're in Quetta.
You have two hotel dishes between.
It was a strange thing because the levis hasn't followed us or helped us anything the lately.
We didn't even know where to go.
We had no idea what kind of hotel we were supposed to go to.
And then we had to find this one.
This is ourself.
Light on. Very busy.
Yes. Let's go.
Let's go to the right hotel.
At least I get to sleep for 2 hours.
I'm happy for that. I'm thankful for that.
So much people outside here.
In a organized chaos.
Things are everywhere and messy but it still works.
Especially when I'm in the traffic of course.
Bloomstar.
This is my new room.
In Hotel Bloom.
I have a fan.
I have a bed.
Toilet.
And TV.
This will be good for one night.
Let's get some sleep.
