Well, I was born and brought up in a beautiful town called Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. It is a lively city where both modern and ancient life coexist.

Unfortunately, it is also one of the most populated and polluted cities in Nepal. Nowadays, the government has been taking legal actions by initiating campaigns and lowering electric vehicle prices so that people can buy them to reduce air pollution. People can buy electric vehicles, which is a positive step towards reducing carbon emissions. Despite the traffic conditions and pollution, Kathmandu is the heart of Nepal's economy, politics, and culture.
