The famous Doko race that potential recruits for the Brigade of Gurkhas have to undertake in Pokhara, Nepal is a tough and gruelling individual effort run up steep inclines and steps in the hills close to the British Army camp in Pokhara.
The potential recruits have to carry 15kg in a Doko basket, which they have individually prepared the day before with help from the Gurkha recruiting staff and run a the course inside a maximum time limit. Nearly all meet the maximum time allowed so it is really important to do well against the other potential recruits.
