Winter Haze Shrouds Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
Uma Maheshwor is partially obscured by winter haze as cold air blankets Kathmandu Valley, creating stagnant conditions that trap pollution close to the ground and worsen air quality across the city in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 11, 2026. Falling temperatures and limited wind movement intensify smog in several areas, increasing particulate matter levels and reducing visibility around the historic landmark.
