Dhulikhel's Due Laurels

Living in a city that offers healthy air, clean and safe water, nutritious food, and pristine environment has become more sought after than ever before. That's because we are living in an era when cities are doggedly pursuing prosperity at the expense of environmental health. They are burning more and more fossil fuels for transportation, to live in air-conditioned settings, and to fulfil countless other modern-day needs. In the process, the natural environment has become perhaps the biggest casualty. The Kathmandu Valley being declared one of the most polluted cities time and again is a case in point.
