it just amazes me that this video is about 60 years old and so many people in this video might not be with us now. I hope people living now realise that one day they are going to be a part of history as well. I hope people don't take their life for granted and break through whatever challenges they face in current circumstances. Enjoy life an time when and be always here

[@maxustaxus]

That is how I feel too. You have described our condition perfectly. We are not just watching the lives of others, because the bell tolls for us all. This video...like so many other sources from the past...simply shows us how we occupy a piece of time that is short and finite. I think when that is accepted, the past as shown allows us to make union with what we are, and those who have been what we are. That is why I like to show old film...it punctures the sense that anything more than this is happening!

[@Travelinguyzen]

@@maxustaxus I liked the part when you said the bell tolls for us all. Reminds me of Pink floyd album Bell division. Please continue to share this kind of videos.

[@ashleyp.4932]

It's the same for me when I see old videos or photos from 50 or even 100 years ago... not only are those people no longer with us, but they could have no idea that 50-100 years later someone would still be looking at the photograph or film. When I see children I wonder what they grew up to be.

[@bibhanshu82]

Even I thought same

[@farhancekh6901]

think what was NEPAL during Kings rule and how these politician destroyed our country

[@KarlMüller-z9w]

It`s a great moment to compare this old scenery with the documents of the recently showed Tihar/Dipawali scenery of 2024. During an engagement in a foreign aid project between 1959 and 1964 , we lived in a Kathmandu of ancient times - that was a lifetime experience indeed. Unforgetable !

[@Accord2007]

This is just amazing. Thank you for the video.

[@maxustaxus]

Thank you for the kind comment, and thanks to the person that filmed this all those years ago!

[@kesharkhadkapunwar2029]

Virgin era of my believed Kathmandu valley! I am extremely proud be a Nepali ! Hail Nepal !!!

[@Kubotahonda5]

Just 40/ 50 years ago, Kathmandu was a truly innocent, pure , organic, sacred , magical and divine place on earth.

[@roybishow]

Many thanks to who filmed this priceless video. God bless.

[@avidtraveller6508]

2:29 Bouthanath … ! The place I grew up and spent my childhood. 🙏😩

[@grg131]

Now i know why foreigners used to love Kathmandu city at that time and made them keep coming back to Nepal. City looks still same but just overly over populated like everywhere in the world through out periods.

[@guraasfulecha167]

Kathmandu with kharpan, cow and so many good people. Thank you for uploading!

[@saurabgamerz8613]

Cow should be eaten in nepal

[@guraasfulecha167]

Not only cow, mankind should stop eating all animals. People who eat meat are 'devil in disguise'. Mankind have many choices for food. There is no need to eat meat or drink milk for human races. But, people who are in form of human being in fact they are devil by inside eat meat. Human stomach are not graveyard of cow, dog, pig, hen or cock. Go to meditation! Dhammapad! Buddha saranam gachhami!

Thank for posting this valuable video.do you have more of Tibetan refugees videos and pics in 60 and 70s.

[@gangagurung6290]

Nice video

[@disboygotdabeat]

So different from today...not overwhelmingly crowded and no masses of filthy street kids sleeping in the corners or together sniffing glue. When did all that start?

[@rjb9239]

After the 2000s I would say? When most of the migration happened and our amazing politicians ruined it

[@kooxaldoxt5162]

When Bahuns and Cheetris got the power, and India started to control our politics. Our country got ruined. In a Nutshell when our Late King Birendra was murdered by RAW everything took a negative turn.

[@Glan1999]

Idk why i got emotional : )

[@rishavpaudel5021]

Same. The fact that many people in here are probably dead and what we saw is just a part of history that we possibly will never experience is weirdly heart wrenching. Also the music used. Ah man time flies so fast.

[@lupishen7399]

I would always want to be in that Era....... Hope we were not so much dependent in government for saving our cultures like back then...

[@misstrekfreak]

So beautiful ❤

[@kavindahal8416]

Time when people were righteous. King ,kingdom,innocence and bravery was were the ornament of our country. Now everything changed 😢.

Not better than this, though a re-film would do no harm I think.

The true culture of KTM used to be seen only in old KTM. The modernization and imitation of westernized culture has ruined this image of Kathmandu
