In 2002 he undertook with six other members the Move for Health Walk from Trashigang to the capital city of Thimphu covering on foot a distance of 560 km concluded successfully as scheduled.
The Walk was conceived by Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup to promote the fund-raising for the Bhutan Health Trust Fund, an important initiative to keep the primary health services of Bhutan free of charge.
