Doctors around the world agree that a 30-minute walk every day provides many benefits, particularly in reducing the risks of cardiovascular diseases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, walking in Kathmandu can be a nightmare. Wherever you go in the city, pedestrians have to brace themselves for obstacles and surprises. Majority of the roads don&#8217;t even have sidewalks, and those that do, are either poorly maintained or occupied by parked vehicles and street hawkers.&nbsp;That&#8217;s not all of it. Across the city, electricity and telecom&nbsp;poles have been erected haphazardly, and often stand right in the middle of the sidewalks. Dangerous cables dangling from those poles and lying on the streets are equally messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As if that weren&#8217;t already miserable, pedestrians in Kathmandu bear the brunt during the rainy season, during which roads turn into a trap of puddles\u2014and occasionally a stream of sewage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These photographs, taken over a couple of months, show Kathmandu is truly not a city for pedestrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com\/uploads\/source\/news\/2019\/miscellaneous\/Pedestrain_walk_waterlock_road_07182019_Z6A3032.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Locals walk gingerly on the bridge at Sankhamul after water puddles were formed following incessant rainfall. &nbsp;<em>Hemanta Shrestha \/TKP<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com\/uploads\/source\/news\/2019\/miscellaneous\/Local_Struggle_Muddy_road0806201910.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pedestrians struggle to walk on the footpath at Chabahil-Chuchhepati road in Kathmandu.
