Kathmandu being the urban center of Nepal, is also quickly becoming the urban slum central. As we travel through Kathmandu Valley, it was not the majestic Himalayan Mountains that captured our attention, but the rapidly deterioration of the whole valley and the endurance of the people living there. We saw roads that are crumpling before our eyes under the onslaught of vehicles. We traveled along what were once pristine rivers now permeated with the stench of raw sewage. The once clear mountain air is now filled with pollution that clogged our sinuses and made our throats raw. We endured, along with the majority of the locals wondering when the electricity will come on or if there will be gasoline at the petrol stations around the corner.
