"It is a rare sight.
We saw the peaks of the greater Himalayas towards the north of Saharanpur after the clouds cleared up following two days of rain.
It was a clear sight.
Around 30-40 years ago one could see it every day but now because of increased pollution one can rarely see them.
All of us amateur photographers were delighted when we saw the peaks," Vivek Bannerjee, a Saharanpur based doctor whose photos have been widely shared said in a statement.
Himalayas are visible again from Saharanpur.
