Mount Everest visible from Bihar's Madhubani after clear skies and cleaner air delight residents

A spell of crystal-clear weather and improved air quality has gifted residents of Jaynagar, a border town in Bihar’s Madhubani district, a spectacular sight -- the majestic Himalayan range with Mount Everest glimmering on the horizon. Jaynagar, located along the Kamla River that originates from a glacier in Nepal, has become the talk of the internet after several locals claimed they could see the snow-covered peaks with the naked eye. At 8,848.86 metres above sea level, Mount Everest lies in Nepal's Solukhumbu district within Koshi province. Residents of Jaynagar shared pictures and videos online, capturing the world's highest peak surrounded by other snow-laden summits of the Mahalangur Himal sub-range.
