Nepal, after the "mountain tsunami", does not want to rebuild identically: "If we rebuild the roads in the same place, people will settle nearby"

In Betrawati Bazaar, heavy machinery works tirelessly to clear debris after a devastating landslide caused by a glacier collapse on August 26, which resulted in significant loss of life and destruction. The town, once thriving due to its strategic location along the trade route between Nepal and China, was nearly obliterated, with around 1,500 fatalities and over 5,000 missing. Nearby villages remain untouched, highlighting urban planning mistakes in the Himalayas, a region vulnerable to seismic activity and climate change effects.
