In the first week of September 2025, The Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas undertook its annual adventure training exercise in the breathtaking Lake District, with a focus on hiking Scafell Pike, England’s highest peak. The event was organised by Sergeant Siddhi Khapung, with key support from Corporal Kapil Mani Ghising and Corporal Tul Bahadur Gurung.
Over four days, participants immersed themselves in a series of physically and mentally enriching activities, including hiking, kayaking, boating, and exploring the tranquil beauty of the Lake District National Park. This dynamic programme was designed not only to challenge individuals but also to strengthen the collective spirit of the Band.
The exercise served as a powerful platform to reinforce core military values of teamwork, resilience, initiative, and leadership. The activity also assisted with fostering deeper bonds among its members in a setting that celebrated both nature and tradition.
