Street children in Pakistan are often exposed to exploitation and abuse. At the Child Protection Centres, these children can find a refuge where they receive meals, clothing, medical care, and emotional support, helping restore their dignity and sense of hope.

Beyond immediate care, the project helps reintegrating children into formal education to open doors to brighter futures.

Is this trip for me?

Absolutely! The Tour de Pakistan is designed for cyclists of all levels. This year’s route from Lahore to Multan is on flat roads, making it much more manageable than mountainous terrain. While a bit of endurance is helpful, you don’t need to be an elite rider. We’ll provide a training plan to help you prepare, and our focus is on enjoying the ride, soaking in the stunning scenery, and supporting a life-changing cause together.

Will you arrange my visa? How does it work?

You’ll need to arrange your visa yourself and cover any related costs, which vary depending on nationality. For example, British citizens can apply online for a Pakistani tourist visa here: https://visa.nadra.gov.pk/tourist-visa/. We also recommend checking with the Pakistan High Commission for the latest guidance: https://www.phclondon.org/.

Do I need to take any vaccinations?

You may need certain vaccinations before travelling. We recommend consulting your GP well in advance, as some courses can take several weeks. Common vaccinations include typhoid, polio, hepatitis A and B, and tetanus—helping ensure you stay safe and healthy throughout your journey.

Should I carry any tools with me?

Yes, it’s smart to carry some basic tools so you’re ready for any minor issues. We recommend packing a multi-tool, tyre levers, a pump, two spare inner tubes, spare spokes (check your bike shop for the correct size), brake pads, a few spare chain links, and any extras for unique or high-tech components such as hydraulic brakes. Being prepared will keep your ride stress-free.

What about luggage allowance?

Your bike will count as part of your luggage allowance, so it’s best to travel light. Most economy flights allow around 20kg per person, though some airlines may permit up to 26kg for groups—check your airline’s rules to be sure. A bike in a cardboard box usually weighs 15–18kg, so inform your airline in advance and request any additional allowance if possible. Careful planning will make your travel smoother and stress-free.

Do I need to get insurance?

Yes, all participants must have personal insurance. Your policy should cover cycling challenges and any potential risks. This not only keeps you protected but also gives you complete peace of mind while enjoying the adventure.

Will my bicycle be suitable for the terrain and is there anything I need to do with it in preparation?

Yes! The route is on flat roads, so most types of road bikes are suitable. To make sure your ride is smooth and enjoyable, check your bike carefully before you set off. If you’d prefer expert help, bring your bike to TEAMMC Cycles (Bike Repair Shop and Café), 9 Hessel St, London E1 2LR, where our experienced mechanic John can service it for you. Key areas to check include brakes, gears, tyres, chain, spokes, bearings, and bolts. A well-serviced bike will make the journey safer and far more enjoyable.

What kind of clothing should I pack?

Comfort is key! Here’s a suggested kit list: cycling shoes, padded shorts, lightweight clothing, thermal layers, T-shirts, fleece jacket, waterproof jacket, gloves, hat or cap, sunglasses, headlamp with spare batteries, plus basic toiletries and first aid items. Pack for both comfort and changing weather conditions—and feel free to reach out if you’d like guidance.

What is the accommodation like?

We’ll be staying in hotels and guesthouses chosen for comfort and convenience. While they’re not luxury properties, they’ll give you a good night’s rest after each stage. Rooms are based on twin sharing.
