Drinking Water Problem    In spite of Nepal having abundant water resources, Kathmandu has never-ending water shortage problem. Do not drink water straight from the tap as underground water pipes have high deadly metal and arsenic contents. Boil water, filter it using standard water-filter before use.      
Pollution    Kathmandu is Nepal's most polluted city caused mainly by emissions from the industries, vehicle fuel combustion, and resuspension of road dust, also due to inefficient waste management. The city's air is vulnerable due to its bowl-like topography preventing air particles being disputer's. Some wear masks, and some don't. But if it feels right for you, wear it while walking in Kathmandu!
