Every year, on the third Saturday in July, riders from Nepal and all over the world (ok, that sounds glamorous, but riders from different nationalities do participate) gather in Kathmandu (last year we were close to 2000 riders) to ride a personal challenge of 50 km | 75 km and 100 km around Kathmandu Valley. This is now popular as the KATHMANDU KORA, this year on its NINTH edition. Started in 2011, a modest 35 riders challenged themselves and got pledged of around half a million Nepali Rupees for a school and an orphanage in Kathmandu. Today, this is the biggest ride in the Himalaya, with over 3000 riders riding in five simultaneous locations in Nepal. These locations are Butwal, Kathmandu, Dharan, Hetauda and Pokhara, last year cause supporting the need to raise funds for the Narayan Gopal Fund (Narayan Gopal Fund aimed to help the family of National Cyclist Late Narayan Gopal Maharjan, who met with an unfortunate accident while racing in Sri Lanka.) – and also to help build the cycling communities via this mass ride. Last year “Butwal Kora 2018”, Cycle city Butwal was able to raise 35 thousand rupees which was donated to the family of late national rider Narayan Gopal Maharjan. This year follows the same pattern, raise for cause.
