Highs and highs of Kora, Nepal’s annual cycling event that’s going global now

Whenever someone comes up to Raj Gyawali to ask him about Kathmandu Kora , it brings him joy. The annual cycling event that he started with the aim of raising awareness about cycling has been his baby for the past 12 years. So whenever he gets the chance to explain it, he does so with a big smile on his face.

“I wanted to build a community of cyclists in Kathmandu. A decade on, I think I can proudly say that I have been able to do so,” says Gyawali as he is preparing for the 12th edition of the Kathmandu Kora that will take place this Saturday.
