Surkhet should be added to the list too! :P Might make it more palatable to all - its a valley, not too hilly, not too flat, represents the ethnic and geographic diversity of Nepal etc etc But seriously, we don't have the money to move the capital. There are too many other more pressing things for the country to focus on. We are talking about a lot of money here. I am not sure if anyone has done a realistic estimate of the costs but I suspect it is in the order of billions if not trillions of rupees. That's money we can spend on infrastructure, health, education throughout the country and not lock it up just for the new capital city.
