With Kathmandu repeatedly topping the TOP 10 list of cities with the highest level of air pollution, we now have “Nepal’s first Hi-Tech Anti Pollution mask company, METRO-MASK”. It certainly makes you wonder, why did it take so long? If you’re tired of trying out the different cloth masks being sold in small shops to street stalls then Metro-Mask may be a good investment for yourself and your health.
Metro-Mask currently offer two different types of masks, the MOTO MASK: Ride Dirty. Breathe Clean. and the CITY MASK: Breathe Clean. Live Healthy. You may have spotted Prabal Gurung sporting a Metro-Mask recently! The designer donned the mask during his time in Kathmandu earlier this year. Popular model Aastha Pokharel and make-up artist Sizi Thapa also own the City Mask. While the tougher Moto Mask is priced at Nrs 3500, the City Mask is priced at Nrs 1500.
Metro-Mask can be purchased at many shops throughout Kathmandu and online through Kaymu and GoGazzab!
