Old memories of Kathmandu valley

Kathmandu was not like this at a time when there were few people, narrow roads and scare black topped roads. Environment was green, surroundings were in peace and distinctly observable. Old people still remember those days when they used to drink water from Bagmati and work in the fields of Kathmandu valley where now the tall concrete buildings are standing. They want to return those days of Kathmandu valley, where there was not any traffic jam, everything was cheap and business was also meant for social welfare.
In these days of modernization and commercialization, people are polluting the environment and ruining the identities of Kathmandu. In this context, old memories of Kathmandu Valley can help to restore that peaceful Kathmandu and stop further damage environment of Kathmandu Valley. Here, you will the innocent faces of Kathmandu Valley.
