Research Report | All Change at Rasuwa Garhi Sam Cowan From time immemorial, pilgrims, traders, artisans, and Kyirong to aid the transshipment of goods and to carry religious teachers going to Lhasa from Kathmandu had to out major trading on their own account. Jest records that decide between two main routes. One roughly followed as late as 1959 there were forty five Newar households in the line of the present road to Kodari, crossed the border Kyirong and forty in Kuti (Jest 1993). where Friendship Bridge is built and followed a steep trail The two routes were used for the invasion of Tibet in 1788 to Kuti (Tib. Nyalam). Loads were carried by porters up to and 1791 by the forces of the recently formed Gorkha this point but pack animals were used for the rest of the state under the direction of Bahadur Shah, which led to journey. -
Nagarkot - Changunarayan Day Hike - 1 Day
GPO Box: 384, Ward No. 17, Pushpalal Path Khusibun, Nayabazar, Kathmandu, Nepal Tel: +977-01-4388659 E-Mail: [email protected] www.iciclesadventuretreks.com Nagarkot - Changunarayan Day Hike - 1 Day The Nagarkot Day Hike is the best day outing from Kathmandu designed especially for short on time and want to see the Nepalese Himalayan sceneries, lush nature, and typical Nepalese culture. An excellent downhill hike from the hilltop takes you to the small township of Changu Narayan temple-one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Nepal. One of the best viewpoints situated just thirty-two kilometers from Kathmandu valley, Nagarkot (2195m) offers an astonishing Himalayan panorama from Dhaulagiri (8163m) to the west to Mt. Everest (8848.86m) in the west, eye- popping views of lush greeneries of Shivapuri National Park, wonderful ethnic communities, Kathmandu valley, beautiful terraced farms, rhododendron hills, religious shrines. Famous as one of the best viewpoints for sunrise in Nepal, Nagarkot offers the mesmerizing view of the first rays of the sun over entire mountain massifs! It looks gleaming when the yellowish rays of the sun kiss the snow-clad peaks. The sunrise and the sun's last rays over the Himalayas also looked glorious from this viewpoint. The journey to Nagarkot-Changu Narayan hike begins and finishes in Kathmandu. Early in the morning, we pick you up from your hotel and drive eastward, following the way to Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Leaving it, we follow the Bhaktapur-Nagarkot road reaching the hilltop of Nagarkot. Our vehicle leaves us just 10m below the prominent vantage spot. From there, we take a short hike to the watchtower. -

Large boulders, ca. 10 m in diameter or more, commonly linger in Himalayan river channels. In many cases, their lithology is consistent with source areas located more than 10 km upstream, suggesting long trans- port distances. The mechanisms and timing of “exotic” boulder emplacement are poorly constrained, but their presence hints at processes that are relevant for landscape evolution and geohazard assessments in mountainous regions. We surveyed river reaches of the Trishuli and Sunkoshi, two trans-Himalayan rivers in central Nepal, to improve our understanding of the processes responsible for exotic boulder transport and the timing of em- placement. Boulder size and channel hydraulic geometry were used to constrain paleo-flood discharge assuming turbulent, Newtonian fluid flow conditions, and boulder exposure ages were determined using cosmogenic nu- clide exposure dating. -

Study on Kodari Scheme of Rikaze-Kathmandu Railway
2017 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Environment Protection (ICSEEP 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-464-6 Study on Kodari Scheme of Rikaze-Kathmandu Railway Location Yaoping ZHANG1,a 1Institute of Vacuum Tube Transport, Xijing University, Xi’an 710123, China a [email protected] Keywords: Rikaze, Kathmandu, Railway location, Rack rail, Linear motor, Himalaya tunnel Abstract: Building Rikaze-Kathmandu Railway will change the broken road situation of Lasa-Rikaze Railway, activate the potential of Qingzang Railway, have Tibet as well as Lasa and Rikaze become the node of south Asia channel of “One Belt and One Road”, strengthen commercial trade and bilateral relations between China and Nepal. It is the shortest route for Rikaze-Kathmandu railway to go through Zhangmu port. By primary analysis, the feasible route should extend from the current Rikaze railway station, going through Qumei county, entering into the current G318 highway belt, then going through Jiding, Liuxiang and Resa, arriving Lazi. The route extends from Lazi, then goes through Jiacuola mountain by tunnel with 45km length, going through Jiacuo county and arriving Dingri. After Dingri, the route extends to west along with Pengqu river valley, going through Zhaguo, then arriving Gangga. Extending to southwest from Gangga, the route goes under Labujikang peak by a 42km tunnel, then arriving Yalai, then Nielamu and Zhangmu. The nature gradient between Nielamu and Zhangmu is 110‰, line mileage 20km, thus the rack rail technology or the linear motor driving should be considered for train to climb the steep slope more than 110‰. Another possible scheme is to build an 88km tunnel with a 28‰ gradient between Gangga and Zhangmu for going under Himalaya, so as to avoid the 110‰ steep slope between Nielamu-Zhangmu. -
Economic Analysis
Secondary Towns Integrated Urban Environmental Improvement Project (RRP NEP 36188-02) ECONOMIC ANALYSIS The proposed loan will finance the municipal subprojects, which will help (i) prevent waterlogging and introduce wastewater collection and treatment system in core areas of two municipalities; (ii) achieve 90% municipal waste collection and disposal in two municipalities; and (iii) supply piped drinking water through the regional system to 85% of the municipal population in the Kavre valley. Project economic analyses were carried out for each subproject, and assessment results are summarized here by sector. A. Sewerage and Municipal Waste Management Subprojects Assessment Item Assessment Subprojects in The urban population is growing rapidly. The Central Bureau of Statistics projected macroeconomic in 2003 that urban population would increase by around 5% per year, while the context Kathmandu valley population would grow by around 2.5%. This means that the population in urban areas outside Kathmandu valley will increase faster. The towns of Biratnagar (Eastern region), Birgunj (Central region), and Butwal (Western region) were considered as possible regional economic centers under the National Urban Policy (2007). The manufacturing industry has declined in Kathmandu but has grown in Butwal and Biratnagar. The majority of Nepal’s international trade is through Birgunj and Biratnagar. Therefore, the economic efficiency of the three municipalities will have a significant impact on Nepal’s economic growth. Subprojects in The National Water Plan (2005) has set the target of achieving total population sector context coverage of basic drinking water supply and sanitation services by 2017. The Nepal Environment Policy and Action Plan (1993) suggested that municipal solid waste collection and disposal should be organized and managed at the ward level, but set no specific target. -
Kulekhani I Hydropower Station
MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR I would like to express my sincere greetings to the Generation Directorate on the publication of its 12th edition of NEA “Generation Directorate Magazine” on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of Nepal Electricity Authority. I believe the precious data presented herein will be useful to the NEA stakeholders as well as the general public. The total installed capacity of the NEA owned power plants is 626.70 MW (20 hydro and 2 thermal) out of total 1332.86 MW in INPS. The annual generation from these power plants is 3011.43 GWh, which is 50.09% of the total energy generation in Nepal. Upper Trishuli 3A (60 MW) was inaugurated by Rt. Hon’ble Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on 18 Nov, 2019. The long awaited cascade type Hydro power project, Kulekhani-III (14 MW) also started generation from 11 Oct, 2019. The taking over of this plant is still on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as a few other liabilities that need to be accomplished by the Contractor. Major rehabilitation or overhauling works were carried out in Kaligandaki A (including SCADA/ Control system upgradation), Middle Marsyangdi, Marsyangdi, Kulekhani- I & II, Sunkoshi, Modi, Trishuli, Devighat and Puwakhola HPS, even during the lockdown imposed by the government and the continued pandemic. This has ultimately resulted in minimizing generation outage due to breakdowns. These regular and timely maintenance has made Generation Directorate capable of supplying reliable and continuous energy to national grid. Finally, I’m thankful to all the employees working in the power plants, their plant managers and the entire team in Generation Directorate for putting in all the hard work to achieve the desired result. -
Quaternary Stratigraphy of Panchkhal Valley, Central Nepal
Bulletin of the Department of Geology C Bulletin of the Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal, Vol. 10, 2007, pp. 1–8 e y n g t o ra l l eo De G partment of Kirtipur Quaternary stratigraphy of Panchkhal valley, Central Nepal *Yadu Nath Timsina and Prakash Chandra Adhikary Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal ABSTRACT The Panchkhal Valley is one of intermontane basins in the Central Nepal east of Kathmandu with two sets of neo-tectonic lineaments sited from satellite imagery and aerial photographs. One extending NNW–SSE east of the valley results the old Panchkhal Valley uplifting along south during Plio-Pleistocene age and second one NE–SW has ultimately uplifted the old valley. The Panchkhal Clay, Ratopairo Formation, Rampur Formation and Tamaghat Formation are four depositional lithostratigraphical units. Similarly, Tamaghat, Rampur, Thumka, and Chisapani surfaces are depositional and Basukidada, Sano-Tinghare, Sumara-Thulo Tinghare, Dhulikhel, Koiralathumka and Bhamarkot surfaces are erosional morphostratigraphic geomorphic surfaces. Geomorphic terrace cutting level is around 1400–1440 m and all surfaces and deposits above and below are relatively young. INTRODUCTION Thrust (MT).

Tracing the Mahabharat Thrust (MT) on the Basis of Lithology and Microstructures Around Bhainse-Manahari Area, Central Nepal
Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2016, Vol.Tracing 51, pp.the 39-48Mahabharat Thrust (MT) on the basis of lithology and microstructures Tracing the Mahabharat Thrust (MT) on the basis of lithology and microstructures around Bhainse-Manahari area, central Nepal *Laxman Subedi1 and Kamala Kant Acharya2 1Department of Geology, Tri Chandra Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal (*Email: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Lithological and microstructural study carried out in Bhainse –Manahari area, central Nepal reveals that the rock sequences of the Bhainse–Manahari area can be divided into two successions: the Nawakot Complex and the Kathmandu Complex. These two Complexes are separated by a distinct thrust boundary, the Mahabharat Thrust (MT). The Nawakot Complex consists of low-grade metamorphic rocks like slate, phyllite, quartzite and limestone while the Kathmandu Complex comprises medium grade (up to garnet grade) metamorphic rocks like garnet-schist, marble and mica-schist. The Mahabharat Thrust (MT) and the Manahari Thrust (MnT) are the two major thrusts in the study area. The MT separates the rocks of the Nawakot Complex (foot wall) in the south from the rocks of the Kathmandu Complex (hanging wall) in the north. The Manahari Thrust in the western part of the study area separates the Dunga Quartzite and the older Benighat Slates lying above it. The microstructure analysis reveals that the rocks in the thrust zone show higher deformation than in the neighboring rocks, and this gradually decreases away from the MT zone. The strain analysis of quartz grains reveals that the rock sequences of the hanging wall of the MT showed pure, simple and complex shear senses and the rocks of the footwall also showed the same pattern indicating MT as a stretching fault. -
