Mount Everest Shines Bright From Bihar’s Jaynagar As Clear Skies Unveil Rare Himalayan View: WATCH

This rare spectacle is best seen during specific periods with crisp air, like Vasant Panchami to Holi and Durga Puja to Kartik Purnima.

A spell of clear weather and improved air quality has revealed a breathtaking sight from the border town of Jaynagar in Bihar - the snow-clad Himalayan range, with Mount Everest standing tall and visible on the horizon.

Located on the banks of the Kamla River, which originates from a glacier in Nepal along the India-Nepal border, Jaynagar is a culturally vibrant town where the world's highest peak appears directly in line on the map. When the air is clean and the skies are free from fog, pollution, and clouds, the Himalayan range comes into sharp view, offering a rare spectacle to residents.

The phenomenon, locals say, becomes especially vivid during Chaitra-Baisakh and Ashwin-Kartik, that is, from Vasant Panchami to Holi and Ram Navami, and later from Durga Puja to Kartik Purnima, when the air remains crisp and visibility stretches farther than usual.

From the taller buildings of Jaynagar and from the barrage built across the Kamla River, the Himalayan peaks can be seen changing hues every moment, from copper to gold to silver at sunrise, and again from silver to gold to bronze at sunset, before slowly fading into the evening sky.

The town also serves as the starting station of Nepal's only railway line, with passengers from Nepal's Janakpur often travelling to Jaynagar to board the train.
