Mr. Pushkar Shah, an adventurous person and pride of Nepal, hailed from a modest Nepalese farmer family from Makaibari Village Development Committee of Dolakha District, is a very calm and distinct from others, beloved by all and anxious to solve the problem surrounding him through his own initiatives. Many people from his community; even his parents used to be surprised by his ability and talents. This is unlikely something different from the common people. He is a freedom fighter and was gun shot during the first Popular People’s Movement in 1990. His involvement into the movement was highly motivated towards establishing peace, democracy, human rights and freedom of expression and rule of law against the autocratic Panchayat regime in Nepal. But again, he was not satisfied from the changed political context even after the movement, which gradually failed to establish and institutionalize the peaceful environment in Nepal as desired. After the sad demise of his lovely father in 1986, who served in the Indian Gorkha Regiment as a freedom fighter, Pushkar went through all sorts of difficulties. Then he had some deep feelings on how he could overcome with the challenges and at the same time full fill his father’s incomplete dreams and his personal desires, both in common. After many sleepless nights of broken desires, one fine morning Pushkar came with a conclusion. Young Pushkar then in his 20’s thought to have a long journey on a bicycle to spread the message of peace and love with the national flag throughout the entire globe. In history, it was Lord Buddha, who was born in Nepal, had similar thoughts and today in the modern context, it’s Pushkar who is following the trend in a unique and adventurous way. Today, after paddling his bicycle up to more than two hundred twenty one thousand Kilo meters has successfully traveled 150 countries in his 11 years of restless journey. This is a successful history of a man with extraordinary passion and courage with a kind heart for the peaceful coexistence of the entire human race in the 21st century. Like Buddha, Pushklar is not a god but a man with a zeal, compassion, strength and high intellect who always talk about peace, harmony, coexistence and a dream lover of the world peace, a true hero, “The Global Peace Ambassador”. It was November,1998, the Visit Nepal Year when his journey started with the seed money of just Rupee 1 hundred from his mother. The journey never stopped until he completed his world Cycle tour in six continents of the globe. He faced many ups and downs along with life threatening and thrilling experience. He extended peace message from Nepal exchanging national flag wherever he traveled. His second dream was conquer to the top of the world Mount Everest with the collected flags from Around the world . He successfully attempted on 17 may 2010.
