Photo by Matthieu Paley paleyphoto / In a village deep in the Pakistan’s Karakoram mountains, a young woman tries her cousin’s motorcycle. She aspires to ride so she can easily visit her relatives; it would also allow her to reach a town with a better internet connection, a three-hour journey. In 2017 I traveled with my family across this magnificent region, trekking and visiting friends.
