Jacaranda in full bloom (Photos)



KATHMANDU: The Valley has turned purple as jacaranda trees burst into full bloom, transforming roadsides and open spaces into vibrant scenes of natural beauty.

The blooming jacaranda not only enhances Kathmandu city’s charm but also offers a delightful distraction for locals and visitors alike.

People are seen flocking to these picturesque spots to enjoy the blossoms, take photos, and shoot videos. Some are even dressing in purple-themed outfits to match the flowers and create TikTok content.

From sidewalks to under-construction bridges, enthusiasts are taking risks to capture the perfect shot.

The seasonal spectacle has also become a source of income for professional photographers, who are busy offering photo and video services using the jacaranda bloom as a scenic backdrop.
