Why?
In ancient times, monks would ask for dana for food to cultivate good karma. In the modern internet era, crowdfunding provides a new way to connect and support each other. We can reexamine our interpersonal relationships during the crowdfunding process through communication and emotional connections.
The Gobi Challenge is not an accessible event, and the support received through crowdfunding will make participants more determined and empowered to complete this challenging experience in their lives.
The crowdfunding process is like experiencing the Gobi hiking journey in advance. Crowdfunding and hiking can enhance your inner energy, make new friends, and expand your network and career.
Crowdfunding is about opening your heart to welcome friends and engage in meaningful communication.
Our platform offers live tracking of your funding status. You will receive status update on some milestones and criticial stages

Our success is backed by an amazing track record of having the youngest participant being 13 years old and the oldest aged 60. Our average record of successful completion of walk is 95+%. Most of the participants did not have regular training for x-sports. Everyone followed organizer’s guideline of walking for 5km a day for 30 days before the actual walk. It is proven to be an appropriate exercise volume benchmarking. For those who have regular fitness training, one can consider this as a challenge to yourself by taking your own speed and pace to complete the jourmey with glory.
