Thank you!
I was in Kathmandu in November-December 2014 😀
I talked to locals, they said the reason #1 was corruption in the government. #2 reason was banned social media. That's why people had unity during the protest - this wasn't about ideologies but about the government of thieves. Now everyone has their own view on what to do next (since people belong to different ideologies) but... hopefully, they'll find the way out. I feel many people understand that stability is the only way. The chaos during the protest taught an important lesson - it's very easy to lose everything and turn the country into ashes.

Yeah your last point is my concern. If they just completely remove the entire functional state... what now? Famine? Do they still have a functioning economy?
Outside developed democracies, government changes resulting from protests are generally healthy for the state. It’s much worse when a country has an endless president or prime minister, like in Cambodia.
Now everything is peaceful and under the control of soldiers (no destruction, nothing bad is happening) and the people support it. As soon as a new government is formed, the army will let it control the streets.
As I see people are afraid that something might go wrong - some conflict between political parties and so on. Hope this society will manage to solve this. This is the inevitable path of maturity for a nation. "Communism" with all its nice slogans seems to be a magic way to succeed to them, they'll learn things sooner or later.
