The smoky dewy Kathmandu valley is no better than a bar or club full of cigars and smike

Kathmandu, Kathmandu ValleyJun 2026

Who pays for this

Since I have been living in the valley, I always feel like I'm living in a room filled with smoke and an unpleasant smell.

I just feel like I could never breathe any fresh air if I lived here.

Because of this pollution and dewiness Kathmandu valley doesn't flatter me now.

The amount of risk we're taking every day just by breathing this air is huge.

Who is going to pay for this? Obviously, it's me and all of us so why can't we create a good environment to at least breathe fresh air? When will that day come when Kathmandu will again give me joy? On an everyday basis our environment is killing us if the government could manage these vehicles that give black smoke, then at some level, nature would be good to us.
