 dépots sauvages de détritus  un mal chronique au Népal 

Vous n'allez pas me dire qu'il n'y a pas d'autres solutions que ces tas d'ordures "sauvages" un peu partout et surtout dans les endroits de pique nique !!!

Et ne parlons pas de la pollution de l'air dans la capitale 

De retour en France fin janvier 2018

29 janvier : de retour au bercail "home sweet home" dans mon village français !
A + pour des photos de ce beau voyage en Himalaya


le Népal est toujours aussi accueillant malgré un développement pas trop maîtrisé, routes en chantier un peu partout et allure de la limace pour se déplacer sur les routes , embouteillages et constructions sauvages dans les zones touristiques comme Pokhara . A ce rythme il n'y aura plus un espace vert au bord du lac [ archi pollué ]  d'ici 5 ans et les ballets incessants d'hélicoptères qui montent au camp de base face sud de l'Annapurna ont change le décor magique de ces vallées exotiques déversant des dizaines de touristes a 4200 m au camp de base transforme en un héliport dédié au progrès des transports en zone centrale d'un Parc National !!!!
mais j'irai de moins en moins dans cette région donc ce n'est pas a moi a intervenir dans un pays ronge par la corruption et ou les pauvres gens n'ont pas un mot a dire car le business est roi et engraisse en premier les riches népalais ....

The Kathmandu Post :No-vehicle rule enforced in Thamel

No-vehicle rule enforced in Thamel

- CHANDAN KUMAR MANDAL, Kathmandu23, 2017-Thamel has finally been a walk-only zone, with authorities enforcing a ‘no-vehicle’ rule in the major tourist hub of Kathmandu starting on Sunday.

Long time in the making, the plan of restricting unwanted vehicles in the tourist district had received positive response from most quarters.

The initiative of tourism entrepreneurs, hoteliers, civil society, local residents and traffic police is aimed at easing pedestrian movement in the area where overcrowding of narrow streets had raised concerns for safety of visitors including tourists. The move to limit vehicular movement in the area started at 12pm, according to Kathmandu Metropolitan City Ward 26 Chairman Khem Tiwari. “Though belated, we are able to successfully carry on with our plan to regulate vehicular movement in the Thamel area,” he said.

The committee formed to limit traffic flow in the area had proposed freeing Chaksibari Marga and Paryatan Marga of vehicles. According to the plan implemented on the first day, no vehicles were allowed in these inner streets. Tridevi Marga, the road section in front of the Kaiser Mahal, is open only as an entry point for Thamel while other ways leading into Thamel are being blocked. Other streets like Saat Ghumti, Sorhakhutte Height, Kshetrapati, Bhagwati Bahal, Amrit Marga and Thahity have been declared as exit ways from Thamel.

As expected, some entrepreneurs doing business in the area and homeowners were worried about potential problems in supply of daily essentials and goods for business, said Tiwari. Emergency vehicles such as ambulances and water tankers will be allowed in the prohibited area. The committee is devising ways to distribute entry passes to locals living along the two streets. “We are planning to distribute passes to locals and those running their businesses on the streets. However, we will allot separate time especially at night for the entry of vehicles carrying business supplies,” said Tiwari.

Stakeholders said the initial hassles in implementing the ambitious plan of making Thamel only for walkers would eventually pay off by attracting more tourists. Officials hope to improve on the pilot project with more feedback.

Metropolitan Traffic Police Division DIG Sarbendra Khanal hopes the plan will go smoothly in the coming days. 

“We are restricting vehicular movement only on the congested streets of Thamel. It is in favour of everyone connected with Thamel area and will benefit everyone in future,” said Khanal

The Rasuwagadi-Kerung border point between Nepal and Tibet , Chinese Autonomous Province

Aug 31, 2017-

The Rasuwagadi-Kerung border point, the only trade route currently in operation between Nepal and China, has been upgraded as an international crossing point with an aim to develop it as a major junction linking China to the whole of South Asia.

The announcement was made amid a function in Lhasa on Wednesday, with senior officials from the Chinese government and Consular General of Nepal in Tibet Govinda Bahadur Karki in attendance.

The Rasuwagadhi-Kerung border crossing, which was opened in December 2014, has been the only point of bilateral trade between Nepal and China after the Great Earthquake in April 2015 severely damaged the Kodari Highway in several sections. The Tatopani border point has remained closed since.

Responding to Nepal’s request, the Chinese side recently pledged Rs15 billion in support for its upgradation.

The Rasuwagadhi-Kerung crossing has been upgraded as an international border point, allowing citizens from other countries besides Nepalis and Chinese to travel across the border, Nepal’s Consular General Office in Lhasa said in a statement on Wednesday. Foreign ministries of Nepal and China had exchanged a diplomatic note in June to upgrade it as an international border point.

The second largest Tibetan city of Shigatse is about 540 km from Kerung, the nearest Chinese town from Nepal, while the bordering Nepali district of Rasuwa is 35km away from there. Kathmandu is 110km from the district.

Addressing a joint press conference, Vice-chairman of the Tibetan government Luo Mei said: “It is a matter of great pleasure to announce the upgradation of the Rasuwagadhi-Kerung border point with the Nepali side.”

Luo assured that they would upgrade the Kerung border point to facilitate Beijing’s ‘One Belt One Road’ initiative. 

Although the movement of goods and services are currently limited to Nepal and China, trading with third countries will be possible once China enters separate agreements with other nations willing to do trade through this point.  

China has developed and equipped the Rasuwagadhi-Kerung point with the state-of-art facilities. “Infrastructure and reconstruction of the border point has almost completed,” Luo said.  “The upgradation of the border point is expected to boost trade, tourism and people to people contact between the two counties, and help implement the China’s OBOR.”

Echoing Lou’s sentiments, Consular General Karki said that Nepal would be greatly benefited with the announcement, adding that bilateral trade, tourism, investment and people to people contact would be increased.

“Having joined the OBOR initiative, Nepal has been stressing the need to promote trade, tourism and investment,” Karki said, while calling for the reopening of the historic Tatopani border point along with new trade routes.
