Kathmandu's Pollution Gets Washed By Rain

The Kathmandu Valley has a cleaner appearance after heavy winds and rainfall sweep away the pollution from the atmosphere, as seen from a hill station on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 12, 2025. The bowl-shaped valley remains among the world's most polluted cities as dust accumulates in the valley, lowering the Air Quality Index (AQI) of the capital. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
