    Beautiful. The narrator, Peter Vere-Jones was a famous English born New Zealand actor who immigrated to New Zealand with his family in 1949 aged 9 years. He was well known on stage, on radio, TV and in movies, including Xena-Princess Warrior and Peter Jackson's Brain Dead, Meet The Feebles and The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug. I first visited Nepal in 1982 a year after this video was made. I've visited many times since then and plan to return in a few months time. Jai Nepal.

    Highly recommended show on mesmerising nostalgic Kathmandu valley, the show touches my soul, well the imaginations of our past is, ironically, also built upon foreign accounts that reduce Nepal to exoticism. Nepal was a place of "lost kingdoms", a “last Hindu kingdom,” a fascinating “hippies trail,” a Shangrila for those who sought it-a place where one could return to their "roots,” visual narratives emphasise a pastoral dream, with rice fields as far as the eye could stretch, or mountain-villages untouched by the corruption of modern industrial and consumer practices. With every passing year, one begins to rue what once was. There is wide consensus that Kathmandu Valley-and its cities-were in a better shape in the past. Pictures of a bucolic past, with green fields, temples, clean rivers and emptier roads flood social media on a daily basis. Such nostalgia extends to other places from "untouched" trekking trails and regions and ideas of governance and politics, it is no longer uncommon to hear a nostalgic ode to royal rule visa vis the current political state of the country. Thanks for this glorious Nepal.

In today' Nepal, people are smitten by western culture which is strange as the Nepali culture is very amazing ❤ in itself. The people were so simple, amazing and hardworking as evident😢 during this documentary. Listen, carefully, you can hear local dialects and sounds of Nature. 😊 Such a beautiful, enchanting memory of a proud Hindu rashtra well governed by King in those days. Sincerely, such a great documentary!!!!!!!

The student movement was followed by the people's movement and then the 10 year Maoist revolution during which families were torn apart and tens of thousands died and ultimately resulted in abolishing the monarchy, the introduction of Democracy and the declaration of the Republic of Nepal in 2008 CE.

    If it was from 1981 AD, then this video is not showing the city areas. I was not born that time but by 1995, I remember seeing lots of concrete buildings. But there were still open spaces and not such tall buildings around Durban squares or even around New road and not many private vehicles on the road. I noticed the river water slowly changing the colour into grey. Buildings spreading throughout the agricultural land without any urban planning in order. The government had chance to think of urban planning which they didn’t. Looks like political parties were fighting with kings for a rights to ruin the country. When they got it they ruin the country.
