Overview

Nepal is a landlocked country situated at the southern end of the Himalayas. The centrally situated Kathmandu Valley is the country's most densely populated area. On April 25, 2015, the region was hit by a major earthquake. The tremor damaged many buildings, including over hundred World Heritage monuments which date back centuries. An NPO called the Kathmandu Valley Preservation Trust or KVPT has taken up the challenge of restoring damaged sites to their former glory. On this episode, we follow the efforts of the people of Nepal to reconstruct their rich cultural heritage.
