INDIE / PAKISTAN - JECHAŁEM PRZEZ LINIE FRONTU

The day I didn't want. After a week off, the girls pack their backpacks, and I pack my saddlebags—and for the first time in a year, I'm completely alone again. I can barely get a word out. But what lies ahead isn't another day of rest, but a departure from Srinagar—a city where the military is stationed on every corner, where my passport is checked three times, and convoys are guarded as if on the front lines. My bike is lighter by a tent, a jacket, and half my gear. My goal: 900 km to Delhi in six days. A solo ultramarathon through Kashmir, which I haven't fully figured out—and which I probably never will. What will you see in this episode? 😢 Saying goodbye after a year – why parting is the hardest moment of the entire journey 🪖 Military presence at every turn – barbed wire, checkpoints, and a valley that looks like a front 🛶 Srinagar's floating houses – a 100-year history you won't find in a guidebook 🌸 The most expensive spice in the world – why a kilogram of saffron costs several thousand zlotys 🔥 36°C at an altitude of 1500 m – heat, dust, and the first climb on tired legs 🚴 900 km to Delhi – a lonely race against time, the monsoon, and your own head --- This isn't a section about kilometers. It's a section about the price of this road. Because the hardest part of this journey isn't the mountains, the heat, or fatigue. The hardest part is leaving the people you love behind – and still going. A true journey doesn't happen on a map. It happens inside you – on an empty road, when you're left alone with yourself. --- 🧭 WHAT'S NEXT? Six days in the saddle lie ahead, a race against the heat and monsoon, and finally, Delhi and a reunion with Justyna. I leave Kashmir, return to Himachal Pradesh—and then the world opens up again: Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Korea, Japan. This is just the beginning. -- 📜 CHAPTERS 00:00 – They're following me.
