Where is Home? Morocco 🇲🇦 → 🇵🇰 Pakistan Kamran On Bike 2026-07-16 | While cycling through the Sahara Desert in Morocco, I reached the same latitude as Layyah, the town in Pakistan where I was born. If I drew a straight line towards the east, it would cross deserts, mountains, cities, rivers and seas before reaching the place where my story began.Layyah was 7280 kilometres away. Yet, for a moment, it felt very close.Perhaps our origin is an essential part of our identity. It shapes who we are, even after we have travelled far from it. My father always used to say, “My son, whatever you become, wherever you go, don’t forget your roots.”After more than a decade on the road, I am still trying to understand what home really is.Is it where we were born, where someone waits for us, or simply an attachment we are unable to let go of?Maybe we never truly leave home.What does home mean to you?
The Loudest Silence in Sahara Kamran On Bike 2026-07-01 | Can you hear the silence when it is the loudest?Can you see when the night is at its darkest?Can you find peace when everything around you is moving?Imagine a journey through the vast stretch of the Sahara Desert on an empty iron ore freight train, the longest train in the world. No seats, no shade, nothing to hold on to. You feel as if you are alone inside a washing machine.The train feels like a cry in the emptiness of the Sahara Desert.Dust and sand blind you.It feels like a dream. As if we are prisoners of our destiny, being transported to another planet for the gravest crime possible: breaking free from the system and traveling.When the train starts or stops, the force moves through the wagons like a whip, a shockwave strong enough to throw you off your feet and slam your head against the walls of the wagon. At night, when the train stops, this shockwave sounds like a jet flying above your head.The brightest and most vivid sunset I have ever seen in my life was on this train, moving like a giant worm through the desert. It was as if the eye of the sky was looking directly at us.When the night fell, there was a strange silence in perhaps the loudest train on the planet. The night sky was hazy with a thick layer of dust, and the waning crescent moon hung low in the sky. Far in the distance were cone-shaped blank mountains rising from the flat plain of the Sahara Desert.Standing on the right side of the train wagon, I looked far and deep. The silence of the landscape spoke something to me, and I felt peace in all the chaos.Perhaps it was the most spiritual moment in all my journey across Africa. It didn’t happen in a place of worship, but on the iron ore train, in noise, dust, and darkness.It told me that no matter how far we go, eventually we have to find peace within ourselves. The outer world only helps dissolve the veil that stands between our mind and spirituality.And I wondered: if peace can be found in such chaos, why do we travel so far searching for it only in quiet places?
Gio Devil of Liberia Kamran On Bike 2026-06-27 | This is the Gio Devil of Liberia. Despite the name, the Gio masquerade is not something evil or malicious, but a powerful cultural figure connected to entertainment, social order, spiritual presence, and community life.The Gio dancer rises up to 10 feet high on stilts, dominating the skyline as drums and singers guide every movement.These masked figures are seen as protectors of the community and appear during festivals, holidays, and cultural events, bringing blessings, excitement, and a sense of order.Have you ever seen a mask dance like this before?
LONGING #culture #africa #indigenous #documentary Kamran On Bike 2026-05-07 | Somewhere in a remote village in Kankan, Guinea close to the border of Mali, the Donso strings sounded like they were crying into the dark. Sweat running down the singer’s face, voices echoing through the night, people dancing with guns raised in the air while dust moved through the faint light. They told me they mostly sing hunter songs. But this one felt different. This song carried longing. I didn’t understand the words, but I felt a yearning in my chest the entire time. Like the singer was reaching for something far away, something lost, something impossible to hold onto again. And for a few minutes in that dark village, it felt like everyone was longing for the same thing. #culture #africa #indigenous #documentary #guinea
Kumpo: Senegal/Gambia Kamran On Bike 2026-05-03 | Kumpo is a sacred tradition of the Diola (Jola) people in the Casamance region of Senegal and The Gambia. It is believed to be a spirit of the forest that appears in the village, not something a person simply wears.Covered in palm leaves and moving with incredible speed, Kumpo is respected as a living presence—one that protects the community, keeps away negative forces, and maintains balance between people and nature.When Kumpo appears, the entire village gathers. Through music, rhythm, and movement, it becomes something you don’t just watch… you feel. If Kumpo doesn’t appear in a village for a long time, it’s a sign something bad may happen.
Bring Them Back — Can We Reverse Northern White Rhino Extinction? Kamran On Bike 2025-12-23 | In January 2024, while cycling across Africa as part of my world bicycle tour, I visited Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya — home to the last two northern white rhinos. I began filming a story that has now taken over 22 months to complete.This is the story of the northern white rhino — a species that has survived meteors, ice ages, and prehistoric predators… but not humanity.Today, there are only two northern white rhinos left on Earth: Najin and Fatu, both females, unable to reproduce. The last male, Sudan, died in 2018. The species is practically extinct. But scientists refuse to give up. Using cutting-edge IVF and stem-cell research, they are working to reverse extinction and bring a northern white rhino back into the world — possibly within the next 2–3 years.Despite hope, a harsh reality persists: a rhino is poached every 16 hours.The future of rhinos now depends on us — our choices, our actions, our humanity.🦏 Help bring a species back:👉 umano.org/last2 (An Umano Production — independent fundraiser)Shot, Edited & Directed by @kamranonbike An Umano Production @umano7808
Rebuilding Ankilivalo Hospital in Madagascar Kamran On Bike 2025-06-24 | I planned to cycle across Madagascar in two weeks—just another leg of my journey. After 700 km in 11 straight days, I thought I was done. But then, a doctor from a remote hospital in Ankilivalo Village near Morondava invited me to visit the CSB2 Hospital.The hospital was in dire condition—only two out of six beds were usable. Patients lay on the floor because there were no mattresses. There was no electricity, no fans, no light at night. I saw a woman giving birth outside, under a tree, because the birthing bed was broken, and it was too hot inside. Some patients didn’t even have the money to buy medicine like Paracetamol. I shared the hospital’s story, and what happened next was beyond belief. You all stepped in. Donations poured in, and together, we made real change:💊 Bought medicine, injections, and vitamins 🛏️ Added new mattresses and pillows💡 Installed a 5.5 kW solar system for lights, fans, and electricity. Entire hospital and staff quarters have lights and fans🏥 Replaced all hospital furniture—new beds, birthing beds, chairs, tables, cabinets🩺 Added essential medical equipment—Ultrasound, ECG, oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, and more🎨 Rebuilt the ceiling and repainted the entire hospital🚑 Designed and built the first and the only bicycle ambulance in Madagascar🍲 Provided free medicine, baby formula, and food for patients’ families🧹 Hired a full-time janitor on a biweekly salary to keep the hospital neat and cleanAfter 2.5 months of work and €20,000 invested, the hospital was completely transformed. To celebrate, we held an inauguration ceremony with the village chief and local dignitaries. The entire hospital celebrated this new beginning.The people of Ankilivalo, the hospital staff, the doctor, and I THANK YOU. This project proves that when people come together, real change happens. Because no mother should have to give birth under a tree. As I publish this video, I am back in Madagascar for the third time, to continue supporting the Ankilivalo Hospital. If you would like to support, drop a message.
Botswana: The Birthplace of Humanity Kamran On Bike 2024-09-13 | Welcome to Makgadikgadi Pan in northeastern Botswana in Africa, one of the largest salt flats in the world. Recent DNA studies suggest that this region was once the fertile heart of human evolution, where modern Homo sapiens first began to emerge 200,000 years ago.Join me on a journey through time as we explore Kubu Island, once part of a vast prehistoric lake, and imagine the lives of early humans who thrived in this region for over 70,000 years. Discover the legacy of the San people, direct descendants of these ancient Homo sapiens, who still preserve the cultural traditions of our earliest ancestors.Through their rock art and way of life, the San provide us a glimpse into humanity's shared past, reminding us that no matter where we come from, we all share a common origin.

Pardes Katenda by @AdnanDhool Kamran On Bike 2023-07-31 | “Pardes Katenda” is an evocative song by the brilliant artist @adnandhool. It is not just a melody but a profound narrative that resonates with all those who set forth on the journey of life to chase their ambitions.Since the first humans walked on the planet, they left the homes in Africa and were constantly on the move. Our ancestors traversed remote lands, braving dangers and unknown territories to find a better life. They explored opportunities to quench both their thirst for survival and their curiosity for the unknown.“Pardes Katenda” is an ode to all the expatriates who bid farewell to their homes and loved ones, embarking on arduous journeys in distant lands. I have admired Adnan Dhool for almost 15 years, since I first heard his song “Uth Jawaana” on television. Over the years, I have quietly observed his artistic journey, witnessing his rise to global fame through iconic platforms like Nescafé Basement and Coke Studio. He skillfully encapsulates emotions in his soulful compositions and thought-provoking lyrics, stirring the depths of our hearts.“Pardes Katenda” is a masterpiece by Adnan Dhool. Every note and verse in this song is laden with emotion. Listening to this Saraiki song compelled me to express my admiration through a reel, for it struck a chord deep within me as I spent many years away from home. This reel is a little appreciation post for a great artist from Pakistan, @adnandhool. Do follow him and listen to “Pardes Katenda” song on his channel.

Mera Layyah (My Layyah) — Kamran On Bikes Life Story Kamran On Bike 2023-06-19 | Mera Layyah (My Layyah) is the story of a city where it all began for me. It's a place whose soil runs in my blood. It's where I took my first baby steps.When vivo asked me to document a story around me using their new vivo X80, I thought long and hard about a story that meant the most to me. I didn't want to make another cycling or a travel video but something deeply personal to me.Mera Layyah is my observation and reflection of a little city in Pakistan that shaped me into who I am today. It is as much a story of a place as it is of me.It's my love letter.I shot this video in the old part of Layyah, in the streets where I grew up rolling an old tire and where I learned to ride a bicycle, and in the locations that were part of my childhood. To keep the visuals faithful to the actual story, I also filmed in the school I used to study as a child.Apart from the opening drone shot and the sequences where the phone is featured, the footage was filmed using the vivo X80. I wanted to create a video that felt as if I was right there with you, sitting on the pavement of my childhood, sharing the memories of Layyah with you.Shot & Edited by: Kamran On BikeMusic Score by: Maham SuhailCamera Assistant: Zeeshan Ali

My Cycling Journey to Medina & Childhood Memories | Madine Ka Safar Naat For Mother Kamran On Bike 2023-04-09 | [ Turn on English subtitles ]One of the oldest memories of my childhood is reciting Naats (poems that praise of Prophet Muhammad PBUH). In mosques: in religious gatherings.When I was young, my mom asked me repeatedly to go to the mosque. She agreed to all my rational and irrational requests and said, "go my son, read the Quran. Recite Naat for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). There was a mosque right next to our house. Till my voice reciting Naat kept echoing in the loudspeaker, my mom kept crying.She asked me to go to religious gatherings to celebrate Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Sometimes she would bribe me and say I would get money from there if I go. And on every Friday, she requested me saying, “go son, recite that Naat for me!”Her favorite Naat was, “It’s a journey to Madina!”Now 30-35 years have passed since then. Mom is no more, and today I am in Madina. Alone.Because of reciting Naats about Madina since childhood, it feels as if I have probably been here before. I feel a strange familiarity with this place. At the time when I was reciting hymns about the streets of Madina, who would have thought that I will come here one day? And that too on a bicycle!There are so many people here. But in every face, I am trying to find the face of my mom. If she were here, she would have definitely asked me to recite Naat here.So today, in memory of that childhood, in memory of my mother, and in memory of the one with the Green Dome (PBUH), I am going to recite a Naat.My journey has not ended yet.I still have to fulfill another promise. My next destination is... Makkah!.This video would not have been possible without the help of many people. Big thanks to my friends Noman, Hassan, Affan, Khalil Nablesi, Max, Yasir, and Khalid Tunisi for their help with the shoots. Also many thanks to brother Shaker for the drone footage of Madinah Al Munawaarah and Ahmad Sindi for the Arabic translation.
