How is Mount Everest Visible in Bihar?
Mount Everest is located at the border between Nepal and China's Tibet Autonomous Region, part of the Himalayan mountain range, and the tallest peak globally. Jainagar in Bihar is situated near the Nepal border, facilitating views of the Himalayas and Mount Everest from the city. This town rests on the banks of the Kamla River, stemming from glaciers in Nepal, within Madhubani district.
Notably, Jainagar is the starting station of Nepal's sole railway line.
During the COVID-19 lockdown in May 2020, people from Singhwahini village in the Sitamarhi district, along the India-Nepal border, also witnessed the Himalayas and Everest.

Clear Weather Essential for Viewing Everest
If fog, pollution, and clouds are absent, the view can appear clear or hazy. However, from the onset of spring (Baisakh) and autumn (Ashwin) festivals like Holi, Ram Navami, Durga Puja, and Kartik Purnima, this mesmerizing scene is often visible to the naked eye.
The Spectacle in Jainagar
From the tall buildings and dams over the Kamla River in Jainagar, people marveled at the view. It was witnessed an hour before and after sunrise, as well as an hour before and after sunset. The constantly color-changing Himalayan peaks and the gleaming gold and silver hues of Mount Everest left spectators in awe.
