Me: Samar Khan
Intrviewer: Welcome to the show, we have 1st guest (his complete intro) then we have another great female, who(pause), what to tell you(pause), she rides in all the country!!
Proudly conducted a cycling camp first time ever in the history of Landikotal-Khyber. More than 15 girls experienced the joy of cycling which is now shaking the imaan of many misogynists & ignorants calling it 'be-hyaayi'.
But we stay strong & determined. 💪

My mountaineering boots are detained by Lahore customs(air freight unit) for 3 weeks as if I am a criminal or multi-millionaire !
Please help me receive it so that I could use them for my upcoming expedition.
The moment, when they received their first bikes & experienced the joys, freedom & fun associated with it.
How threatening & un-islamic it can be ??
Their faces are telling the story!

From fears to success; cycling camp for girls in Khyber-Landikotal.
Highly thankful to the local community & media channels for supporting us & making it happen, even after knowing the risks involved.

It was an honor 2 see myself among such hardworking individuals who were never acknowledged on such official platforms & honoured by Mr. President

I celebrated Independence Day with

learning about his winning mindset and watching him inspiring not only boys but also girls in sports.
Highly thankful to the governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

for inviting us.

I could have never paid 50k for receiving my boots. Athletes survive on small projects & hardly get anything sponsored.
Thank you so much for supporting my work and helping me receive my mountaineering boots ❤️

Girls cycling camp in Landikotal is done by a pakhtoon sports woman from Dir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, under her sports club.
Not by a western NGO !
Because she knows the power of sports, & she'll share it with other girls!
Those who hv problems,
مه ګوره چې نه سوځې !!
3= Intrviewer: Calm down, you do it urself or if you wanna leave you can!!
Me: dropping the mic & left!!
Because no more tolerance for bullshit after going through discrimination all these years!!
Respect the athletes or don't invite us in ur events/shows!
I know I don't look like some1 who is from Dir, KP; a Pakhtoon & a Pakistani, carrying a tattoo & working as a full time adventure athlete!

Received دیر ستوری (stars of Dir) award & got celebrated in my hometown again. It was an honor to receive the award from a strong woman like
@ShadBegum
who is an inspiration for local women.
More details:
2= Me: Introduce me as an adventure-athlete, a mountain biker who has achieved this, this & this!
Intrviewer: Actually your sports is new & not common so, you can tell ur journey on the show, let's move on....
Me: Introduce me properly as ur channel is watched by everyone.
It took me a long time to find my independence; from a weak & suppressed little girl to a strong woman, who knows her rights & speaks on global platforms influencing the decision makers, thanks to the power of sports.
Now I have to help other girls find their independence.
When collecting equipment, finding right gear, bookings & documentation gets harder than the physical training itself in mountain sports !

They: Ye naak pe kya hua hai?
Me: Mera kaam he aisa hai, chot lgti rehi hai
They: Hain? ye kesa kaam hai?
Me: Sports 😁
No matter how many injuries, but when you gotta attend a wedding, you gotta attend a wedding (desi things).
I am taking girls & women to Hunza to train them in;
1. Endurance building
2. Outdoor survival & navigation
3. Expedition management
4. Camping & outdoor ethics
with an adventurous hike to Rakaposhi basecamp.
➡️ Lemme know if anyone's interested.

This video was shot, when I was coming down from Barganchu Summit(Skardu), tired & frost bitten with my fellow climbers.
I was witnessing this beautiful sunset with half eyes opened, amazed & ready to lose myself in nature's arms to sleep.
Full video:
One woman is tortured by husband,
one is tortured & hanged in Multan,
one is killed for serving food late,
2 newborn girls are buried alive
& the audacity of some men, taking pride in their ignorant guru's statement & calling them 95% when they talk about justice!
After 10 days of sitting on the back of a porter who brought 55kgs of me & 10kgs of my mountain bike here on his back, posing with grace & glory infront of

Do U know about recent
#snowsports
races?
The athletes who participated & won 🎿 🏂 races R the ones who live deep in the mountains of Karakoram & Hindukush.
Who live in remote villages with little or no basic fascilities.
The ones, who travel for miles to reach 4 championships.
May you get the freedom & opportunity to enjoy the health & environmental benefits of cycling.
*a click from our group ride in Islamabad.
#WorldBicycleDay
🚴
We, as athletes, spend years trying to improve our national image and highlight the positive aspects of our country, only for a single incident of mob lynching or a blasphemy killing to undo all our efforts.
Secured 1st position in REDBULL HOMERUN snowboarding category.
Being the only female participant frm Khyber Pakhtunkhwa indeed put U in a lot of pressure when U compete in such events, & I hope it'll bring more females to winter sports especially from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. 🏂🥇
Such a beautiful & serene place around
#Islamabad
but full of garbage & plastic bottles; we haven't left any place clean & then we want the world to come & see our country.
Won't reveal the location as I don't want the senseless people to go there after our clean up drive today.
Girls & Women,
Prioritize your physical strength, start training yourself, learn to fight & keep a gun, knife or taser whatever you can.
Whoever breach ur privacy & touch you, cut that hand, break that bone & set an example for everyone!
These aren't women, but little girls who like to ride bicycles, have fun & learn.
Solve your electricity & economic problems on your own with your voted politicians! Snatching their bicycles won't fix your tribal issues.

I am coming live on
@SAMAATV
at 7pm. I'll answer all questions & details of the recent incident and just to clear this isn't the first time I faced harassment.
I kept running away from people so that I don't get stabbed again, until I got caught by real friends ❤️
Now I understand the power of female friendships; mutual growth, sincere critics & uplifting each other.
Stay authentic & you'll attract your tribe.
Q: WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING?
A: The thirst of becoming so good, that nobody can ignore! 🏂
After experiencing years of favoritism & inequality by sports officials & brands, I hv no more tolerance to average treatment & average deals.
I want it all or nothing !
COUSIN BY MOUNTAINS 💕
We have this culture of calling our fellow friends 'cousins' in the Northern part of Pakistan, especially Hunza; because everyone is related to others in some weird way.

Successfully conducted Girls Backpacking Camp in Karakorum mountains; girls from different parts of Pakistan took every challenge with courage & left well trained & confident.
Gratitude to those parents who sent their daughters & supported their journey of empowerment.
Leave the judgement on God & do what humans should do.
Accept the issue & make this country a better place for everyone, before it happens with ur family.
I did what I believed was right, now it's ur choice to make for yourself.
Best Of Luck!

Climbing up to that decision making position, where an old man won't be the one to decide if a woman is expired for sports
or
if she should get married & hv children.
STAGE 1 | SHIMSHAL
The final discussion & arrangements before leaving for the harsh & uncontrollable world of mountains were done in our HQ, Shimshal.
Guess where did we go next? And were we able to reach the desired peak & slopes?
CAN YOU IMAGINE 🪄
"A little girl in her traditional clothes, running in the mountains of Dir, will be mentored by a company like

one day?"
And, her story will be covered by a sports platform like

ME: RIGHT !
A glimpse of my participation in the US embassy's Independence Day event as a Pakistani Pakhtoon action sports athlete, proudly carrying my identity when it comes to representation and creating a strong narrative.
