Widespread Snowfall And Rain Bring Nationwide Disruptions In Parts Of Nepal

Haze covers part of Kathmandu, Nepal, as the weather changes across the nation on January 28, 2026. Widespread snowfall and rain across parts of Nepal disrupt daily life, particularly in Himalayan and high-hill districts, forcing road closures, halting flights, and affecting electricity and communications in several regions. Heavy snowfall is reported in Manang, Mustang, Dolpa, Humla, Mugu, Jumla, Bajura, Baglung, Rukum East, Myagdi, Dolakha, and parts of Karnali Province. Snow accumulation reaches up to two to three feet in upper Himalayan areas, while lower hills see continuous rain and a sharp drop in temperature. Despite hardships, farmers across mountain districts welcome the precipitation, saying it benefits winter crops such as wheat and barley and improves soil moisture after prolonged dryness. Weather officials advise travelers to monitor forecasts closely and avoid high-risk routes until snowfall subsides and roads are cleared. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
