40yrs ago Nepal was still the same as I was there 4 months ago. Dear friends, you should see this country before plastics take over.

[@davenelson9505]

You should have seen the world before plastics.

[@hippieaussietraveller8587]

inggar3 very sad about the plastic situation. I struggled deeply with the whole rubbish situation. As an Aussie it was very uncomfortable. I clean and green and did my best to not leave a rubbish footprint there.

[@VHari-mw2cr]

Yes u r right..

[@arunkarki3900]

sadly. Plastic Covered almost all.

[@camelgirl65]

I was in Nepal in 1975 (& 81, 84, 86 & 2011) and this well done video is a wonderful reminder of how strange, wonderful, beautiful and mystical and quiet it all was back then. I have very few photos from then so this is excellent. Modern visitors don't realize how different it was, though all the major sights are still there, 20 yrs. of civil war & anarchy have changed it greatly.

[@claudemangion1006]

i was there in 84...and returned in 2014 and 2016....now it s a completely different world of noise, chaos and dust (well in Kathmandu and Pohkara)...

Dear Mr.Michael, can’t enough thanking you for giving this generation a wonderful sight back where my father was barely started to walk. Honestly, I’m overwhelmed seeing this video now.

In 1970 the government dope store was still open and the local chang ( fermented rice beer) was variable from day to day. Quiet peaceful time indeed.

[@avineshchitrakar3356]

Chang is still sold in shady gullies even today lol

And you can find dope anywhere in rural areas and chang is kinda legal in newari settlement's

[@vincentfield9562]

What a beautiful peaceful place Kathmandu was !! I was there in 1999 cycling right across nepal from banbussa in the west up to pokhara and then across to kathmandu and then down again exiting at karkabita into west Bengal. There were quite a few guest houses and a few of the old original farmsteads in the fields above fewa lake but you could basically walk from your $1 dollar a night guesthouse through the fields to fewa lake ,fastforward to 2015 and you can count on the fingers of one hand the number of old rustic farmstteads that have survived ,and barely a square metre of land has been spared down to fewa lake just a mass of concrete hotels ,so so sad ,kathmandu was then a very polluted noisy crowded south Asian city it' was that multiplied by 10 in 2015 , I guess they need to go to work feed their families etc .. Kathmandu in 1970 looks amazing !peaceful,uncrowded, simple,happy and very mystical and charming , sadly you cant turn back the clock ,what a time to be travelling !!!! God bless nepal and it's great people!!
