Himal da,

I will definitely give my suggestion to narane when he will buy a house. But it is really good idea to take this kind of precaution for all of us before buying or making a house. DMG has published this kind of map not only for Kathmandu Valley but also for other cities of Nepal, like Pokhara, Dharan, Hetauda. So I request all to use these maps to know about the risk of hazard. Government has invested a large amount of money on preparation of these maps.

help me22,

If you are in Nepal, you can get these maps in three places in Department of Mines and Geology. But over there you have to contact people working for Nepal Geological Society. There is one map shop in New Baneshwor, near to the bridge called Nepal Map House and there is another one in Thapathali. But if you are in US, I can't help you right now. I had scanned the map of Kathmandu Valley but I couldn't do it with color. So I will try to rework on this map and post over here in sajha so that many people can have look on that.
