Ya the idea of shifting the capital is very logical and it is necessary as well. Though I am not an expert in urban planning, but for some suggestions of selecting the capital from below: 1. Hetuda [covering wider land of Amlejgung] 2. Butwal 3. chitwan [But I am not sure if it is already too crowded to be changed] But before any one of the location is officially declared as capital, lots of town planning has to be done to make sure it will not be 2nd Kathmandu which is too messy. Some people voted for Pokhara. I think Pokhara has its own importance of tourism spot and it may lose its original identity. Pokhara already have chance of economic reform. Apart from this even geographically it is quite closed in shape as Kathmandu. Some points when selecting the capital spot can be: 1. Plain Area, so cost of developing in fracture is low and is geographically safe. [reference to Bangkok] 2. Not too dense already, because it will be tough to modify/destroy older ones and build a new in fracture. If it is less populated now, it can be built with proper planning from the beginning. I am sure many experts here may add more ideas on this.
