In December 2026, four serving members of The Queen’s Gurkha Engineers (QGE) will row unsupported across the Atlantic in the World’s Toughest Row. Racing as The Salty Sappers, the team will raise funds and awareness for the Royal Engineers Association and the Gurkha Welfare Trust and become the first Nepali citizens ever to row an ocean.⁠ ⁠ The 3,000‑mile race runs from La Gomera, Canary Islands, to Antigua, with crews rowing non‑stop for around 40 days on a relentless 2‑hours-on, 2‑hours-off routine. The team will face extreme weather, high seas, exhaustion and the full force of the Atlantic. You can donate to support the Gurkha Welfare Trust, one of the team's selected charities here: justgiving.com/page/gurkhasa… ⁠ #Gurkha #Nepal #Atlantic #WorldsToughestRow #BritishArmy #Endurance @SaltySappers

As the scale of the tragedy in Nepal becomes apparent today, all of the Gurkha family stand united in support of the people affected. We salute the work of our brothers and sisters in the Nepal Army and emergency services as they deal with the aftermath of the catastrophic river flood. Our Gurkha family is working together to do what it can. British Gurkhas Nepal and the Gurkha Welfare Trust are working hard to ensure our people are safe and that we can help and support the Nepalese authorities in any way we can. Many lives and livelihoods have been lost, and the path to recovery for Nepal, yet again, will take time and considerable effort. Our hearts go out to those who have lost family and friends. We are with you. Colonel Commandant Brigade of Gurkhas. #Nepal #Gurkha
