Kora - Cycling Challenge

Kora - Cycling Challenge In Buddhism and Hinduism a ‘Kora’ is a circumambulation, done clockwise, usually around a religious structure. It is said that a single Kora around Mt.

The Biggest Ride in the Himalaya - and Beyond! 6000+ riders . 20 plus locations in Nepal & 5 plus locations worldwide . 25km - 165km ride challenge! 16th EDITION Kailash in Tibet for example is enough for one lifetime. Kathmandu, with its myriad religious structures is a perfect location to do a circumambulation. 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. History

In 2011, a 16 year old boy from the UK, Maxim Jones, decided to come to Nepal to volunteer at SAMATA school, Boudha and at OCCED Orphanage, Naxal. Before he came, he had an idea to raise some funds for these two projects. In January 2011, we gave him the idea of conducting a Cycling Challenge around Kathmandu, and connect the challenge with the fund raising. It was so successful, that by the time he was in Nepal and on the trail in July, there was an amount over 4000 British Pounds waiting for him to complete the challenge. At the same time, we prepared another 16 year old rider, Shishang Lama, to also raise funds in Nepal and participate with Maxim. Eventually, Maxim and Shishang, did the challenge of around 60 kms on cycles around Kathmandu in July, supported by 35 other riders who just rode for fun. Maxim and Shishang eventually distributed over 450,000 Rs to SAMATA and OCCED at the end of this event. Thats how the Kora started!

Kora has never been just about the ride. It’s always been about what we ride for.

For 2026, we’re backing something real. Something that needs attention.

👉 Project Edukick, Sarlahi — working with 400 children to keep them in school and away from child labour and early marriage.

This isn’t theory.
It’s simple, practical change—using sports and arts to make school a place children actually want to be.

And that changes everything.

Every Kora rider now has a chance to take this further:
✔️ Share the cause
✔️ Ask for pledges
✔️ Ride with purpose

We’ll be bringing you stories from the ground soon. But for now, start here 👇

https://korachallenge.com/kora26-the-cause/

Ride strong. Ride for something that matters. 💛🚴‍♂️

Kora26 rides for change. This year’s cause is Project Edukick in Sarlahi—helping 400 children stay in school and avoid child labour and early marriage.
