Who we are
The Global Cultural Peace Walk in Nepal (GCPW Nepal) is likely a grassroots initiative aimed at fostering peace, understanding, and cultural exchange. It might involve individuals from various backgrounds coming together to walk and engage in activities that promote cultural appreciation, dialogue, and harmony. As a loose forum, it likely operates with flexibility, allowing participants to organize events, discussions, and other activities along the route. This initiative could serve as a platform for building connections, raising awareness about cultural diversity, and advocating for peace-building efforts in Nepal and beyond with different actors since 2017 AD mainly “Walk with Cultural Peace Lamp”. GCPW Nepal is organizing the Walk with Cultural Peace Lamp of 2024 in collaboration of Peace Tourism, World Forum for Buddhism and Namo Buddha International Cities of Peace.

Fund Management
This program is dedicated to philanthropy, aiming to enhance the well-being of individuals and society by promoting inner peace. Both individuals and corporate entities are encouraged to participate in this noble cause. We welcome contributions and donations in the form of goods and services. Specifically, the event requires items such as uniforms (T-shirts, caps), food, and transportation. We are delighted to provide detailed estimates of the budget and explain how you can contribute, tailored to your convenience. Monetary contributions can be made through digital banking or by depositing funds into our designated bank account, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Funds will be raised through two methods:
- Participants can choose to join by depositing the specified tariff into the designated bank account provided during registration. Alternatively, they may join for free if the event secures sponsorship or donations. Those interested in applying for free admission will be promptly notified if this opportunity becomes available.
- The funds generated from individual tariffs alone will not be sufficient to cover the costs of uniforms, trekking gear, food, and backup transportation, among other expenses. Therefore, the World Forum for Buddhism (WFfB) will seek sponsorship and donations from both individuals and corporate entities to bridge the gap in expenses (budget). Sponsors and donors will be approached to contribute goods such as T-shirts, caps, food, and transportation to meet these needs. A detailed list of requirements will be provided to interested sponsors and donors, finalized based on their preferences and contributions.
