Buddhist nuns practice Kung-fu at the Amitabha Drukpa Nunnery on the outskirts of KathmanduGETTY

Train with the Kung Fu Nuns and Helicopter Over Mt. Everest

The Kung-Fu nuns are Nepal’s only female order to practice the deadly martial art made famous by Bruce Lee. In 2008, the leader of the 1,000-year-old Drukpa lineage, His Holiness The Gyalwang Drukpa brought the idea to Nepal by encouraging his nuns to learn self-defense. His goal was to promote gender equality and empower the young women, who mostly come from poor backgrounds in India and Tibet. Every day, the nuns, aged between 10 and 25, and most with black belts, take part in three intense training sessions where they practice the exercises taught to them by their teacher.

The winning bidder will be invited to take part of their teaching, watch the Kung Fu training in the temples and at the end fly a helicopter with famed explorer Johan Ernst Nilson around Mt. Everest and Himalaya.
