Personnel at the Army Training Centre in Pirbright have taken part in a special challenge to raise funds for their local NHS trust. After watching the remarkable fundraising efforts of Captain Sir Tom Moore, Corporal Dikendra Gurung decided to organise a doko race. The infamous test forms a key part of the selection criteria for Gurkha recruits in Nepal. Participants are required to carry 15 kilogrammes in a bamboo basket, secured by a headstrap, uphill for five kilometres within 50 minutes.

The United Kingdom is so blessed to have this relationahip with Nepal and it's people. We have a rocky history with Nepal but I'm glad the Nepalese realise how much we revere them!
Hammerschlägen M The UK. Referring to our colonial past.
@Hammerschlägen M yeah indian army has more Nepalese people in Gurkha Regiments as they require more people.
Britain have cheated Nepal a lot ,they captured Nepal’s land and didn’t return before thye leave India .British force stop Nepalese warrior to touch the sea .today nepal suffering from being landlocked and domination of neighbours.Thye used young Nepalese boys in brutal war ,they won including Falkland island with the help of Gurkha .what nepal got ??? Gurkha have always saved their pride and sovereignty what Nepalese got ??? It’s shameful today nepal become one of the poorest country .India capturing its boarder day by day threatening blockade ,and other trade and supply
@Hammerschlägen M many as many Gurkha settled in India and got recruited as officer plus India also recruit directly from Nepal also for officer posts who are trained in Indian military academy post selection.
I have seen officers going up to the rank of Lt general.
madhukar kc just stf bro. Don’t blame Britishers for that but blame ur corrupted ancestors who took some land from Britishers while signing Sugauli treaty that was signed in 1815 btwn East India Company & Nepal.
In Suguali treaty Nepal’s Chandra Shekhar Acharya & pandit Gagraj Mishra got (10-12 bigas) of land from Britishers.
When india got independence from Britishers our politicians could have asked for Greater Nepal but they didn’t. So stop blaming. Long live UK-Nepal relations. 🇬🇧❤️🇳🇵
Much respect to all these men. Nothing but love from 🇺🇸
@Prince Maddux It's a bot
are ur respect also for those who tried for british gurkhas and rejected (like me)
there's a huge difference in carrying doko like a bag than hanging in the head(neck). Carrying doko like a bag is a piece of cake, for me. that's what i think as i grew up carrying doko in the mountains of nepal.
Oe pun mero kuraa sun jatha

Absolutely, if they actually just use the sling (namlo) it would be way harder.All the weight pressure would be on the head and neck. The "Doko"(basket) would wobble and be off balance while running which would make it way harder.
But stll it would not be piece of cake like you mentioned. You have to run up the hill 5 Km. carrying 25 kg in your back , in a specific time competing with hundreds of boys who were selected from thousands.
@@honeyhunters6055 ah bro i agree with ya. Bujha na bro khairey haru lai yeso tarsaideko po ta maileyy 😂😂
Yes bro... Tauko ma bokna paryo ni, bag jasari bokna ta dherai easyyy hunxa ni
I remember doing my doko race during my selection training in Nepal. I had one friend who always come with me. Our running route was up the stairs to famous danda kalika temple; since we didn’t have any hills in Chitwan; this was only place for me to train. It was all stairs; almost 5km up with few surfaces flat. It was so tough initially but after training for months and months; we were used to that kind of session; our neck muscles were stronger and hence no pain later months. The amount of pleasure I used to get after the race was immense; our feet used to be so light as soon as we drop our doko after the race and feel like we weren’t walking on floor but about to fly off the ground :). On the way back; me and my friend used to sing together. I miss my friend now; because he got enlisted in Singapore police and I got here in British Army and we couldn’t meet after that. He come to Nepal once every 4 years and that’s only time by luck; we meet physically. Other than that being unhappy; I’m very happy that my hardwork paid off and met other close friends here from different parts of Nepal. Joining British Army has taught me so many things and would be always thank ful for because it’s a blessing and something that will remain with me forever. Just think; to be selected within only 420 out of 30000 applicants how lucky I was. For selecting me; other 71 were not successful. That’s a lot of hardwork and luck. Finally; thank you for reading through.
I swear I was thinking it might be you dai! And it’s you

There are prostitute who trade their flesh for wealth and there are lahures who sell not only flesh but also soul for money. Kaile biujhine ho hajur haru? You are just killing machine no more than that. British ani indians le dine takma syabasi ta lollipop ho daju. When are you guys are going to realise it? Pound ra INR ko laagi body ra soul kaile samma bechne ho??? Nepal government le pani aafno citizens lai kaile samma marna pathaune ho??
What an amazing bond the British have with the Gurkhas it all started with a war and we both had a mutual respect for our honor and courage as a warrior on the battlefield so we joined as a team
Shanks sure bro, thats how it went.
It just like carrying a bag for us. We have to really do a lot of struggle in mountain life. 🇳🇵
*Fighting a war , no more bullets , no more nades , don't know where our friends are doesn't mean you beat gurkha's* Ps-love from US ❤️🇳🇵
Proud of my nation whose people are saving the 👑 crown and UK 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
@अर्जुन Lol dont hav baseless patriotic... we all love our country but
where is employment opportunities in Nepal?
Where are facilities?
Why so mhch corruption?
Gurkhas always send remittances to Nepal.. mind it cuz they are proud to be Nepali
It’s actually more harder in the hills of Nepal.
The end result has been units with some of the worlds best soldiers. No test is perfect, but you hardly mess with tests that have created these Gurkha units.
Salute to the Hardworking guys and still can't make it🥺
Feeling proud to be NEPALI 🇳🇵🇳🇵
Jay Brigade of Gurkha 🇳🇵🇳🇵♥️
Are you from nepal ?
Jai Gorkhali
Love from Nepal ❣️🌻🌅🌄
Aayo Gorkhali!!
When Nepali mothers will see this , they be like - Now they had done something good for there life 😍😍😍
Thank you.
This is what we do everyday in our basic life in northeast naga nc hills 👍
Impressive, took 16 years of doing similar things, too much tabbing, now I’ve had a disc removed and another compressed, permanent disability, watch your back guys!!!
Amen brother. Live daily with back pain. done the Fan Dance with 4 4 times in 5 weeks - doing it again next week. Sick of letting an injury define me.
Exmoor Farmer good effort, stay safe mate!👍
Thankyou for your Service God Bless You All 🙏🏻🇬🇧🙏🏻
Bourbon Freeman if your a solider Of the British Army and don’t like what am saying come to me in person and speak to me I’m approachable and willing to listen and learn but as far as stopping saying what I do I will NOT EVER STOP THANKING MY HEROS FOR THERE SERVICE AND SACRIFICE ... GOD IS GOOD GOD IS GREAT ... LOVE GAVIN GERMAN WAKEFIELD WEST YORKSHIRE 5/2/89 SIR

I was upto the last central selection round so called filter round upto 2 times with my genuine documents..but unfortunaltely i was out on both times from filter in pokhara.. i myself realised since then there is a caste discrimination and also forgery document holders are preferred on final selection..
Nepalese armies are always best 😍🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Ahh yes tried carrying one almost broke my neck lmao
Jaya Nepal
Much respect to gurkha.
Hey its not a traditional doko you should only use your head and back while carrying in traditional style you made this easier
heard about em before like fearless warrior gurkas from the mountains of Nepal and we have em here too glad to have em serving here in Singapore and once in a lifetime i'd like to visit those warriors birth land God bless these people
Thanks bro
Had the pleasure of being in the same section on the infantry’s platoon Sergeants battle course with Corporal Dipprasad Pun a recipient of the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross!! Only 2nd to the Victoria Cross! at that point none of us knew who he was Because he hasn’t received his medal yet. We only found out on the first day when our instructor went round every individual and told them to tell them a bit about themselves. Dip as he was called never mention anything until the instructor called him out and said come on there’s a bit more to you than that and then he explained!! What a guy! Had the pleasure of spending six months with him! Always professional and always humble 💂🏻♀️
Look him up for his story!! It’s absolutely mental 💂🏻♂️
He should’ve definitely won the VC he defeated 15 Taliban on his own
Sighh, there is rise of Corona cases in Nepal🇳🇵and selection for British army and Singapore Army was just 1month ahead before government announced lockdown and now I am just hoping for the best.
Whaaattt. That doko is so small for these guys.
We use forehead straps and the doko is huge compared to these dokos.
Carrying a doko and walking up hill is our daily life in mountain areas.
First time I didn't see any Indian comments claiming gorkhas as their part and comments like proud to be indian gorkhas like stuff.🤣🤣
Jai nepal jai gorkha love from nepal
In nepal it’s all the way up hill during selection process. But respect for all of those who made it.
Nepali heritage and language should be given a recognisation in Uk as a tribute to gorkha soldier!! Nepali schools and institutes should be erected for preserving nepali language and our communal language eg-gurung,magar ,rai etc should be preserved ❤️😀!
is the nepal location high altitude with less oxygen ?
The Nepalese gurkhas were one of the most greatest soldiers in the WW2.
Jay nepal jay gurkha

Nothing but respect for these men.
And then they wonder why they have neck and back problems.....
They are so smart. We serve them as a slaves, saves their territory for 200 years. In returns we got nothing, they can't even speak us when we need them. Selfish..

We need to stop selling our dignity our pride let's do something few contribution by each n every individual person for our own country nepal we have to stop this tradition serving other country for pleasure future ,this is wrong that'nis why we alys depending on other country,let's be together our mother is weak she really needs help ,ur mother is brown not white with blue eyes.....sanju gurung

For those who don't really know much about the Gurkhas.. I'll say you this, there isnt 1 soldier in the british army who isnt grateful they are on our side.
Their neck muscles are made from mountain bulls. Tough and strong 💪🏼.
Hero’s
🇬🇧🇳🇵
Woah just woah as an nepali I feel extremely sad by seeing own youngster in british army and what about our country ??? China and india are capturing our land?? We ourselves need army but ....lol when will our government stop sending our army to another country when our country ourselves needed it omg 😳 sometimes I feel ashamed to be born as nepali lol political party are slave of india and china and army is in uk great great 🙄 I don't how nepali feel proud seeing this I don't 😳
@@jw6680 lol u know ntg about our country so just shut up ... And it's shameful our youngster is gonna scarifies themselves for some other countries who is never gonna support us never if somehow china or India is gonna capture us uk is never gonna support us it's just a slavery ntg more lol. India has taken lots of land from us and china has also started too so u better shut ur mouth nor ur people are scarified nor ur country is being occupied only people living here will understand it .
@@jw6680 no our army is very low in compare to army send to India and uk not only in uk our stupid send thousand of army every year to India
@@jw6680 and our army is ntg compare to India and china one of the largest population and one of the nuclear county
i spent some time in Nepal Khumbu and Annapurna regions and was amazed at how they transport goods up and down the trails using that method, the kids start of by collecting fire wood , and crops note the guys who were born in Kathmandu are in no way as fit as the mountain folks from those regions, the only advantage they had was a better education for selection
If the British fellas can get into the army without undergoing this "doko test" , I don't know why our Gurkha brothers have to do it.
This is what sets Gurkhas apart from the rest of the regiment in the British Army.
No other regiment can come close to what Gurkhas do whilst the doko carrying phase during the selection at such height and terrain.
Unique to its regiment, the Legendary Doko Race.
please educate yourself.dont be mercenary for other country...i m magar myself and i dont feel proud of my father being gurkha...respect your country
I’m worried for their necks and spines
Yes also womans of Nepal does in daily life
Nepal = Brave Gorkhas
Everything good Nepal has was is and will be taken advantage of by foreigners while the unskilled population remains idle in the country, shameful
I am nepali I born in nepal
Gorkhas are only " nepalese "
