Residents along the Budhi Gandaki river in north central Nepal evacuated on Sunday as flash flooding destroyed homes and other structures. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority warned others to move to safer areas while assessing the cause of the flood. Videos shared online show houses being swept away by the swollen river, but there were no immediate reports of casualties. While the exact number of affected villages is unclear, nearly 33,000 people have been impacted with about 7,500 homes damaged or destroyed. This event comes as Nepal continues to recover from a previous devastating flood in August that left over 1,400 dead and thousands missing.

Story summary
On October 11, 2026, residents along the Budhi Gandaki river in north-central Nepal evacuated as flash flooding destroyed homes and other structures. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority warned others to move to safer areas while remaining on alert until late Sunday. A dry landslide in Gorkha district, about 100 km west of Kathmandu, blocked the Budhi Gandaki River, leading to downstream flooding that swept away several houses, sheds, a bridge, and parts of a hydroelectric project camp. Videos from social media showed homes being washed away by the swollen river flowing between tall mountains. No immediate reports of casualties were available. The disaster management agency is focusing on recovery efforts, including restoring roads and bridges cut off by floods, especially in remote areas where damaged infrastructure hinders aid deliveries.
