Thanks to unusually clear skies and fresh air following recent heavy rainfall, locals could catch a glimpse of the world’s highest peak, which is situated in Nepal.
Social media was abuzz when user Satyam Raj shared a stunning video, captioning it: “View of the majestic Himalayas as seen from Jainagar, Madhubani, Bihar.”
The post quickly went viral, garnering reactions from awe-struck users and experts alike.
Why This Rare Spectacle Is Happening in Bihar: The Role of Weather and Pollution
Jainagar, perched on the banks of the Kamla River, is known for its picturesque views of the changing Himalayan hues during sunrise and sunset.
According to locals and online enthusiasts, the best time to witness the mountains from Bihar is from Vasant Panchami to Holi and Durga Puja to Kartik Purnima, when the air remains crisp and pollution levels are low.
The current visibility follows a trend observed during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020, when reduced pollution levels allowed citizens in Bihar to spot the Himalayas from afar.
Expert Commentary Adds Fascinating Context
Parveen Kaswan, an Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, added context in the comment section, highlighting previous instances: “For reference how Mt Everest’s height was also observed from Muzaffarpur originally. With other places. For more read ‘The Great Arch’ by John Keay.”
This scientific perspective underscores how rare yet possible it is to view the majestic Himalayan peaks from such distant locations when environmental conditions align perfectly.
Social Media Reactions Reveal Public Awe and Wonder
The viral video has sparked excitement and amazement online: One user wrote, “Mt Everest as seen in this video is 8.8km tall. That’s REALLY tall. Think about this, planes fly around 8km to 10km height, and what’s more interesting is that you enter space at 100km height!”
Another commented, “Rare sight these days! The Himalayas are always there, but pollution usually hides them.”
These reactions show the growing public appreciation for clean air and the extraordinary beauty of nature when it reveals itself unexpectedly.
What This Means for Nature Lovers and Travellers
For photography enthusiasts, Jainagar has quietly become a must-visit spot for Himalayan vistas. The combination of clean skies, crisp air, and the gentle hues of sunrise or sunset creates a canvas that few get to witness in real life.
As environmental conditions continue to fluctuate, moments like these remind us of the importance of preserving air quality and celebrating the awe-inspiring beauty of nature.
