We’ll be talking about our daily activities in Kathmandu in this article. You anticipate things changing when you visit a new location. There are always difficulties and unforeseen barriers. Wherever you go, it takes some time to understand how things operate and how to complete tasks inside that environment.
Water is one of the first problems in Kathmandu. The tap water in our apartment is straight from a well. The water is pumped up to the roof, where it passes through a filter before arriving at our faucets. For our hot water, there is a solar heater on the roof as well.
This water hasn’t been tested or cleaned. It is not safe to drink the water in the Kathmandu Valley since it is 80 percent contaminated with microorganisms and heavy metals. While being careful not to get the water in our mouths, we do take showers in it. For brushing our teeth, we have a bottle of purified water in the bathroom. Dishes are washed in tap water and then rinsed in distilled water. Our kitchen does have a water tank that is provided by our landlord.
However, this is Nepal. No one can tell if the water in these containers is any different from the water that comes from our faucet. We utilize our ionizer to zap any bacteria before using this water for drinking. Our precautions appear to be working so far because neither of us has fallen ill.
Additionally, there have been times when there was no water because the pump wasn’t running or another issue. We’ve also experienced losing hot water on numerous occasions.
