Zenith Irfan is not your typical woman—while many might shy away from the idea of a solo, cross-country motorcycle journey, she embraced it wholeheartedly.
Inspired by her late father’s unfulfilled dream of embarking on a global motorcycle adventure, Zenith made history as the first woman to ride from Lahore to Khunjerab. A pioneer in Pakistan’s motorcycling community, Zenith has spent years documenting her solo adventures on two wheels.
In a recent Instagram video, she shared the profound impact motorbike riding has had on her life, captioning it, “The day I started riding motorcycles was the day EVERYTHING CHANGED.”

Zenith’s dedication quickly brought her national recognition, inspiring countless others. Her remarkable journey was even captured in a biographical film titled “Motorcycle Girl” by a Pakistani filmmaker. Over the years, Zenith has covered 50,000 kilometers across Pakistan on her motorcycle, hosted a travel show, and was honored with the Pride of Pakistan award. She continues to document her travels, sharing the “true raw stories” from her adventures.
In an interview with ABC News, Zenith revealed that her mother had encouraged her to pursue her father’s dream and live out his legacy.

She also shared with AFAR, a travel magazine, that although her family hails from Pakistan, they moved to the United Arab Emirates in the 1960s, where she was born in Sharjah, near Dubai. The family later returned to Lahore when she was 12, a move that brought with it a significant culture shock.
