I dont necessary agree with everything said in the article. The fact that something that may seem beautiful for someone can be hell for another like said in the example of the old man carrying a doko.
The point that i disagree on is, natural beauty of nepal is to blame for those people having to walk 2 hours to school or 3 hours to bus stop. I see the point you are making about the difficulty of infrastructure development, but natural beauty cannot be blamed for it.
First of all, these people CHOSE to live in those place therefore deal with the challenges associated with such circumstance. You may argue that they are poor and cannot afford to move to the city or somewhere more convenient, but on the contrary, it is not a government's job to accomodate sparsely populated areas such as the remote hills. Government for the most part and in an ideal situation tries to spend the tax payer money or foreign aid money in nepal's case to benefit the larger chunk of population and where the resource can reap measurable benefits.
i can go on and on....but you get my point.
anyways good article...made me think...but i dont wanna see nepal's natural beauty commercialized or exploited in any way. I know i cant stop it if its going to happen but i am expressing myself.
Its just priceless to me to see the untamed river with all its rage racing down those rugged terrain than something tamed by us humans using dams. its just depressing to think nature being exploited.
