6 May 2026

People gather and take photographs beneath blooming Jacaranda trees lining the streets of Lalitpur, Nepal, on May 6, 2026. The seasonal blossoms transform the cityscape into shades of purple. The Jacaranda trees (Jacaranda mimosifolia) reach peak bloom between March and April, with fallen petals carpeting sidewalks and roads. This species has been part of the Kathmandu Valley's urban landscape for over a century and is believed to have been introduced during the Rana period for ornamental use. Often referred to as the Hawaiian mimosa tree, the blossoms are delicate and easily scattered by light wind or rain, creating a short-lived yet visually striking display. Jacaranda trees are typically propagated through cuttings or grafting onto seedling rootstock and take around two to three years to flower. They thrive in full sunlight and well-drained sandy soil, conditions well suited to Kathmandu's spring climate. While mature trees can tolerate temperatures as low as -7?C, colder conditions may reduce flowering, and younger plants remain more vulnerable to frost. The annual bloom has become a popular backdrop for photography and everyday life across the valley.
