The environment of Bhaktapur is very good. The
sanitation condition is clean, green and fresh. Although many peoples live
their but the condition of the environment is not so much polluted. Industries
are established very far. But the forest here is not so much dense as compared
to other cities of Nepal.
But yet some of the places of Bhaktapur
are polluted because of modernization and industrialization. Many brick
factories are set in cities. It has polluted the air around the city. Also, due
to the smokes coming out of vehicles, the city is getting polluted day by day.
People are indulged in deforestation for various reasons such as settlement, fodder,
etc.
Many parts of
Bhaktapur are still clean, fresh and sanitized. Some rivers here are much
polluted. The waste products from hospitals, factories and houses are not
properly disposed, instead they are disposed in rivers instead due to which the
rivers are polluted. The condition of the environment is somehow better because
of various cleanliness programs, tree plantation programs and forest
conservation, etc. People here try to make their environment clean and healthy.

of devotees, Bhaktapur is beautiful in nature as well as in culture. This city
and its people are excellent example of active citizens. They are much
motivated towards the development of the city and their locality along with its
cleanliness and sanitation. People are not indulged in any negative activities
that degrade the environment. Thus, it can be concluded that the city Bhaktapur
is very beautiful and the environment here is an excellent example of environmental
beauty.
