Mountains Seen Around Kathmandu After Clean Weather

The Langtang Range is being pictured against the backdrop of the Kathmandu Valley, as seen from a hill station on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 5, 2024. Kathmandu is appearing cleaner after a heavy rainfall over the weekend, with the activation of the pre-monsoon weather pattern. Although it often ranks among the most polluted cities in the world, Kathmandu's Air Quality Index (AQI) has improved in the first week of March, with the AQI ranging between 50-80.
