On Sunday, residents along the Budhi Gandaki River in north-central Nepal evacuated due to flash flooding that destroyed homes and other structures. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority issued warnings and began evacuations, with no immediate reports of casualties. Videos on social media showed houses being swept away by the swollen river. While the exact number of impacted villages is unclear, social media indicates an evacuation took place in Arughat. Nepal was already grappling with recovery efforts following a devastating August flood that left over 1,400 people dead and thousands missing, prompting the government to shift focus from search and rescue to rebuilding at an estimated cost of $4.77 billion.

Story summary
On October 11, 2026, flash flooding caused by a landslide along the Budhi Gandaki river in north-central Nepal forced the evacuation of villagers. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority ordered residents to move to safer areas and remained on alert until late Sunday. Videos from social media showed homes and bridges being swept away by the swollen river, which merges into the Trishuli River near Kathmandu. No immediate reports of casualties were available, but authorities focused on assessing damage and restoring critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges cut off by floods, particularly in remote areas like Arughat, a town on the highway connecting Kathmandu to other parts of the country. This incident comes just months after a devastating flood along the Nepal-China border that left over 1,400 people dead.
