We had an early morning flight from Paro to Kathmandu. This time we were on a turbo prop, so it took almost an hour and a half. I had a window seat on the left side -- looking south into India.

| The mountains as we left Paro. The smog from the Gangetic plain is barely visible in the upper left. |
 |
| Here the smog from India is clearly visible along the horizon. The smog is particularly notorious this year -- a mixture of fog, agricultural burning, industrial pollution, and vehicle emissions that has made a toxic atmosphere. |
 |
| As we approached Kathmandu, the mountain tops turned a bright green. |
 |
| Kathmandu -- the layer of smog over the city is quite visible. |
