Kathmandu Kora Cycling Challenge 2012

In Buddhism and Hinduism a ‘Kora’ is a circumbulation, done clockwise, usually around a religious structure. It is said that a single Kora around Mt. Kailash in Tibet for example is enough for one lifetime.

ROUTE: Patan Durbar Square - Jawalakhel - Ring Road - Sunrise Apartments - Kirtipur - Naikap - Sitapaila - Soyambhu - Balaju - Dhapasi - Bansbari - Kopan - Boudha (LUNCH) - Pepsi Cola - Gwarko - Patan Durbar Square

Kathmandu, with its myriad religious structures is a perfect location to do a circumbulation. It boasts two of the most revered Buddhist Stupas of Boudhha & Swoyambhu, and one of the top eight temples for Hindus worldwide, Pashupatinath.

This Challenge circumbulates the valley, clockwise, right at the edge of the valley, away from the hustle of the city, through small dirt trails passing by picturesque rural settings, raising money per kilometre biked for a worthy cause.

THIS YEAR, we will be supporting Save the Children build Safe Birthing Centers
