Such a classic clip! Tripureshwor-Suryabinayak and Koteshwor is what I recognized there. Not much houses around Koteshwor Police Post. The simplicity of the days that used to be is all but gone. Nostalgic. Some other ineresting clips of the Valley can also be seein in  a Hindi Movie called "Aandhi Toofan". Does anybody have access to aerial Orthophoto of Kathmandu from pre-80's? I remember seeing it in Singadurbar Police Traffic Office long ago.

I personally think there had been a big conspiracy from the big oil companies here in the west regarding the failure of the electric bus service in Nepal. The electric bus service was a green technology and it was all fine then. However, corrupt government bureaucracy couldn't be uncontempted. Feel sorry about how easily western powers play with the poor and developing countries, people and  their lives.
