On a hill overlooking Nepal's capital Kathmandu, rows of women launch shoulder-high kicks in unison, calling out as they strike through the brisk morning air... Known as the Kung Fu Nuns, they believe martial arts are a form of meditation which prepares them for life's challenges.
Behind them lies their home, a Buddhist monastery where about 300 nuns live. They also serve their community, helping vulnerable women, visiting orphanages, picking up rubbish, repairing homes and spreading a message of environmental protection.
