Winter Haze Shrouds Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

Cold winter air blankets Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, on January 11, 2026, creating stagnant conditions that trap pollution close to the ground as air quality deteriorates across the city. Falling temperatures and limited wind movement intensify haze in several areas, raising particulate matter levels and reducing visibility. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
