9/9

spot o$ Nepal as it is visited by thousands o$ $oreign visitorsevery year !t is a good source o$ income $or our government!$ such places are preserved, it can be a great treasure $or thenation The surrounding o$ these areas is densely populated

that has adverse e-ect on the site So the government musttake some steps to control it (ocal people should be morecare$ul about the cleanliness o$ the surrounding 'eople mustbe aare about the cultural and historical importance

But there e 8nd some o$ the problems $aced by these

historical places !t has been very much di@cult $or the

tourist to reach there as road is very narro So, proper

management should be given in construct or development o$

roads ?arious in$rastructure o$ development should be given

more priority around these historical areas ;ide roads

should be constructed so that guest could easily reach the

destination ithout $acing any di@culties and obstacles

These historical sites are greatly a-ected by the Baisakh 9 th

massive earth6uake =ost o$ these sites o$ these historical

places are not recovered They are in very much dangerous

stage So government should $ocus more on theirreconstruction and their timely maintenance

The tour was quite helpful to us to know about the Bhaktapur and its

surrounding areas. Lastly, we had a lot of fun and the fun was a lot

informative.
