A beautiful evening sky blurred by Air pollution

Bhaktapur, Kathmandu ValleyJun 2026

Hazy Sunset

Evening rush hour rolls on as it always does.

Vehicles weave through traffic, headlights begin to glow, and people make their way home.

The sunset is there, yet it feels distant, hidden beyond a blanket of haze that hangs over the city.

What should be a clear end to the day appears muted and tired, reflecting the air we breathe every day.

Sometimes pollution is not seen in a single plume of smoke, but in the way a beautiful evening slowly loses its clarity.

If even the sunset struggles to shine through the haze, imagine what the air is doing to the people beneath it.
