A band of Buddhist monks who have spent four months walking - sometimes barefoot or through the snow - on a 2,000-mile march from Texas to Washington DC is expected to complete their journey on Tuesday.
The group's arduous so-called Walk of Peace has gone viral, capturing the attention of millions of Americans at a time of heightened political division in the US.
Along the way, the troupe has shared a message of mindfulness, with its leader, the Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara, saying: "My hope is, when this walk ends, the people we met will continue practicing mindfulness and find peace."
Their journey began on 26 October 2025 at the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth.
After arriving in Washington, the monks will visit the Washington National Cathedral and the Lincoln Memorial.
