Earlier this summer, Gurkhas serving with the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps took on a special challenge in aid of the NHS. The soldiers took part in a unique version of a Doko Race at Imjin Barracks in Gloucestershire by virtually climbing the height of the world's three tallest peaks. The doko is a traditional wicker-type basket found in Nepal and nearby territories. It also plays a part in the selection process for the recruitment of new Gurkhas. The basket - which weighed 25 kilogrammes - was strapped to the heads of the personnel who in total covered 26 kilometres.
