The commitment

  • Commit to raising $1500 for DGH 

  • It’s not a walk in the park, so you have to train a little (don’t worry we do this together). But you will be happy with the results at the end, not just physically but also emotionally

  • Bear all personal expenses which will warranty that all money raised through this campaign goes directly to benefit the children of the Homes now and in the future

  • Bring your own bike or rent one if available

Why do this fundraiser?

  • Challenge yourselves, do something different

  • You see the world better on a bike

  • It’s definitely not a race, more of a casual ride in the beautiful Himalayan countryside

  • Interact with the local communities along the way

  • Make new friends with riders from all over the world

  • Ride for a cause that is bigger than any individual rider

  • Impact a child’s life for years through the funds you raise

  • Help DGH sustain itself for another 119 years
