We invite you to support a truly meaningful cause through an event that Honour both tradition and sacrifice.
Organized by Gurkha Company (Sittang), this charity event features a 5km Doko Race, where participants carry a 15kg traditional doko basket on their backs — a rite of passage for every Gurkha recruit. This test of endurance isn’t just a physical challenge — it’s a powerful symbol of the strength, resilience, and determination that define the Gurkha spirit.
The Event:
• 5km Doko Race (15kg weight) – Emulating the iconic selection challenge faced by Gurkha recruits.
• Gurkha Curry Lunch(pay-as-you-go) – A chance to enjoy authentic Nepalese cuisine in the company of friends, families, and supporters.

Why This Charity Matters:
The Gurkha Museum Trust, based in Winchester, UK, is dedicated to preserving the proud history and contributions of the Gurkhas — legendary soldiers who have loyally served the British Crown for over 200 years.
The Museum tells the remarkable story of bravery, sacrifice, and loyalty — from the hills of Nepal to the battlefields of the world. It houses invaluable artifacts, personal stories, and historical
archives that ensure the legacy of the Gurkhas lives on for future generations.
This fundraiser is not just about raising money — it’s about recognizing the invaluable role Gurkhas have played in British and world history, and ensuring that their stories continue to inspire and educate.
