The legendary city of Kathmandu has a by now legendary air pollution problem, the third worst air quality in the world I read the other day. On previous visits, I have noted how the air quality seems to get worse every time but right now I have sore eyes, a sore throat and I can feel the grit in the air when I breath. Glad I don’t suffer from asthma but I am looking forward to the fresh mountain air in a few days time.
