Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax. Thus, every individual requires a quiet walk with Mother Nature to nurture their mind, body, and soul. Street and park trees provide tremendous benefits to busy cities like Kathmandu in this regard. Park is a place to park worries, imbibe nature, remind of God's blessings, and learn to stand up like a tree to face life's weather. What the park gives us is a place to relax, a place to relieve stress, and at the same time, to appreciate nature. In the urban centre, all you see is concrete. In the concreteness of hectic Kathmandu with a hectic lifestyle, you can enjoy some time with nature in these parks with less finance and less time to travel:
