Everything you need to know about Kathmandu’s haze and its causes

Forest fires in Nepal have turned central Nepal’s sky into a hazy din as a yellow tone is constant as if it were an Instagram filter. In the past month alone, there have been over 500 forest fires in nearly 60 districts across the country.
