Taato Khanna: the cyclists who deliver hot food to the needy

Renowned Nepalese cyclist Pushkar Shah and Professional Mountainbiker Santosh Rai along with other bicycle lovers initiated and formed the group called ‘Taato Khanna’, which means ‘Hot Food’, that distributes free hot meals to the street children and homeless people living around the Thamel area and some other parts of Kathmandu.

The ‘Hot Food’ cyclists have been distributing meals for the last 44 days after the Nepalese government had announced an emergency pandemic lockdown on 24 March 2020 which they later extended until 14 June 2020.
