Local Guides meetup at Ktm Kora 2017

Hello friends I was wondering if we could setup a LG meeting in kora. @BishowvijayaP @HelloSamsonR

Description of KTM Kora

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 there 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 seventh 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. In its second edition, almost 300 riders turned up and raised close to a million rupees for upgrading birthing facilities in RUKUM. In 2016, they raised the funds for two projects in Gatlang.

You don’t need to be a biker to join. It’s like a fun ride deciding our own pace.

Thanks @HelloSamsonR

You are among first people I talked to once starting LG. But If you visit Kathmandu around the given date do consider as many tourists sign up for this and few even fly to this location to attend the event.

It is the event where hundreds of people participate so we can spread word about LG to as many young active people as we can.

Plus we will be visiting a whole circle of Katmandu valley and we are destined to find new places.
