Currently, this place is bombarded with dozers and trucks. The government is
building a dam to make the water level at the Bagmati river uniform throughout
the year. So, the lake looks seriously ill. However, you can still lay back in
the bank of this lake, pray that it will return to what it looked like before,
and move along.
Note that, before the construction, Dhap was sick! And, I don't mean diseased.
Dhap used to be the center for wildlife. But, don't worry. The construction
won't last forever. And when it is ready, there will be a much bigger lake.
