The group of Buddhist monks currently walking from Texas to Washington, D.C., on the “Walk for Peace” pilgrimage are expected to arrive in D.C. in mid‑February 2026 , with several outlets and organizers specifically citing February 13, 2026 as the planned finish at the U.S. Capitol.

What’s happening

  • A group of about 19–24 Buddhist monks began a roughly 2,300‑mile “Walk for Peace” from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. on October 26, 2025.
  • The walk is intended to promote unity, compassion, and healing across the United States, with stops at state capitols, historic sites, and community gathering places along the way.

Expected arrival in DC

  • A D.C. local news outlet reports that the Walk for Peace is expected to finish at the U.S. Capitol on February 13, 2026 , where the monks plan to share a short message.
  • Other updates about the walk describe the overall timeframe as a roughly 110–120‑day pilgrimage , lining up with a mid‑February 2026 arrival in Washington, D.C.

Where they are now

  • Updates from late December 2025 place the monks around Georgia and the broader Southeast , including stops such as Sharpsburg, Georgia and Auburn/Opelika, Alabama as they move northeast.
  • A December 28–29 community update notes that day 64 of the journey has passed and again describes the expected arrival as mid‑February.

How to track them

  • Local and national coverage points readers to the organizers’ social media and community pages, where they post current route maps, daily locations, and ways to join or support them.
  • For the most precise day‑to‑day timing as they get closer to D.C., checking those active pages will give the latest schedule changes due to weather, health, or logistics.
