Recruitment of young boys from Nepal into the British Army
started from early 19th century. 2015 marks 200 years of Gurkha service to the British Crown. The recruiting centres of Gurkhas in Nepal have changed over the years. There are currently two main recruiting centres in Nepal - the country where Gurkhas originate from.
It is our intention to reach all recruiting centres, past and present, within Nepal by cycle, namely Dharan, Paklihawa and Pokhara. We will cover over 750 kms on road in nine days. We aim to raise money for Gurkha Welfare Trust by completing this event.
Small or big- Your support to our cause is invaluable.
