kathmandu 1978 Nepal

[@manoram6300]

In the past, we Nepalese didn’t have cameras so there are only a few pictures and videos from those times. Thankfully, tourists captured our history and we are truly grateful for that. Because of them, we can now see what our capital looked like back then. Thank you so much for sharing this. Jay Nepal 🇳🇵

I was 8 in 1978. I grew up in Kathmandu and this is exactly how it was back then. We didn't have video cameras, so I haven't come across videos that had captured the life at that time. Makes me nostalgic. Thanks for sharing...

Thank you so much for posting this video. I will save it in my favourite list. I was born this year and still I have the memories of going to school and around with family as a kid.

Dear sir, Being Nepali I'm very proud of legends like you, who loved,liked and made a time travel capsule(Videos of Nepal) for Nepal. Thank you for the contribution of things you've created and shared to Next generations of Nepal. I was born in 1984. But watching your videos of general public before the establishment of NTV (Nepal Television 1986s) or earlier videos focused on Royal family only is much more heart touching,wonderful and mesmerizing. Thank you again.❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for the video , the way u recorded and uploaded this video its a gift for all of us today generation, it is very sad and unfortunate to say that all this ancient places is encroached by corrupt politicians and people . they built hotels and bar inside the ancient valley Kathmandu, many of the temples and old ancient buildings are demolished to built modern home and highways, development is needed but not in this way which destroys our ancient heritages . our only hope is Balen Shah the present mayor of Kathmandu he is doing very well for this ancient valley, he is against corruption and he don't listen any others corrupt politician. hope is alive #BALEN SHAH . my Respect to all of those in the video and the owner of the video as well as the cameraman. if u are alive please visit Nepal again to recreate the memories. Namaste from Nepal . PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO TILL IT REACH TO BALEN SIR .... JAI NEPAL.
