Residents of Jainagar in Bihar’s Madhubani district were left in awe as snow-capped Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest, became visible from the town after recent rainfall. The breathtaking view, seen from nearly 200 kilometres away, has taken social media by storm, with users sharing stunning photos and videos underlining the rare clarity of the skies.
Clear Skies Reveal a Rare Sight
The unusual visibility of the Himalayas from Bihar was made possible by heavy rainfall that cleared dust and pollution from the atmosphere. Meteorologists explained that such haze-free conditions create perfect visibility, allowing distant peaks to appear clearly on the horizon.

A Town Blessed by Nature
Located along the Kamla River, Jainagar is known for its cultural vibrancy and scenic surroundings. The town occasionally offers residents glimpses of the Himalayan peaks when skies are exceptionally clear. Locals say the peaks change hues with the movement of the sun—from copper and gold in the morning to silver and bronze in the evening—adding to the spectacle.
Nature’s Reminder of Beauty and Balance
Experts believe that such moments are a reminder of the delicate balance between weather, pollution levels, and visibility. The recent view of the Himalayan peaks from Bihar not only captivated hearts but also reignited discussions about air quality and environmental preservation.
