Master Peace Walk Nepal
This walk is not just a walk. The MasterPeace Walk is more than you can imagine. You need to involved, and after experiencing it, you can feel it. During the walk, you are thinking about life; the meaning of nature and human happiness, and how amazing our planet is. Just join!”

Participant, MasterPeace Walk Nepal 2018
In collaboration with MasterPeace Nepal and MasterPeace Global, Peace for People hosts the participants of MasterPeace Walk Nepal as a local coordinator in the rural communities of Dhading district.
It is a community-based project where a group of foreigners from different parts of the world engage with their local Nepali host for a 10-day long stay. It includes a roughly 80 km walk where one gets to enjoy the fresh environment of our hills, learn about the different rituals, cultures, and traditions of the locals, and share their stories.
MasterPeace Foundation highly values the MasterPeace Walk Nepal as it builds bridges between cultures, adds value to the local community, and helps to build a strong MasterPeace network in the local region, not to mention the personal impact for every participant and all local Nepali people involved.
We started being a part of MasterPeace Walk Nepal since 2017.
In 2022, the fourth edition of MasterPeace Walk Nepal 2022 was completed with the remarkable participation of 17 international and 18 Nepalese participants. The journey started on November 2nd at Saatghumti, Bhimesthan, Dhading, and concluded on November 11th at Simle, Dhading.
The walk highlights the powerful storytelling sessions, dialogues and discussions on SDGs and critical global issues, and cultural exchange activities. The impact this walk had on the participants and local people on a personal level is outstanding, and, as the participants themselves say – “powerful and unforgettable.”
The third edition of the MasterPeace Walk Nepal unfolded in November 2019, with 16 Dutch and 16 Nepalese nationals embarking on a 6-day walk through the picturesque landscapes of Thakre, Galchhi, and Gajuri in the Dhading district.
This walk was jointly organized by MasterPeace Nepal and MasterPeace Global to promote cross-cultural collaboration and understanding. It was also generously supported by the cooking team of 6 Nepali members.
In 2018, the second edition of the MasterPeace Walk Nepal was co-organized by MasterPeace Nepal and MasterPeace Global, taking place from November 7th to 16th. The event saw a vibrant group of 36 individuals from Nepal, India, Georgia, and the Netherlands come together for a 6-day walk in the breathtaking nature of the Dhading area close to the majestic Himalayas at an altitude of 1000-2000m AMSL.
The foreign participants got to celebrate our Tihar festival with the family of our founder, Mr. Santosh Bidari. This cultural exchange with an adventurous walk made an unforgettable memory to forever relish in our hearts.
The MasterPeace Walk Nepal was started in 2017 with forty participants from the Netherlands and Nepal for a 6-day trek through Thakre Rural Municipality of Dhading.
It was organized by the Peace for People team with our Dutch counterparts, Florian Geerken, Caroline Kouwenberg, and Marcella Bos. The participants disconnected from their regular lives and got engaged in storytelling, dialogue, and learning, which served as a medium for reflection and connection.
