For your information, the initiative for Hike for Nepal was started in Hong Kong by We Will Rise Foundation (hereafter “WWRF”). This Foundation has been at the forefront of charitable activities in Nepal following the devastating earthquakes in 2015. Among one of its objectives is to promote tourism in Nepal to the international community; proudly declaring Nepal is safe to visit.

Last year on 19 August 2017, in joint-collaboration with Brecon Nepalese Society (hereafter “BNS”) PMUK successfully organised the First Annual Hike for Nepal in Wales, UK.

We were also ably supported by the Nepalese Embassy, UK.
