Quick Summary

Raging waters from flash floods recently destroyed a bridge over the Budhi Gandaki River in Nepal's Gorkha district, as shown in dramatic video footage. The incident occurred over the weekend, leading to at least five missing persons and over 80 rescues. Prime Minister Balendra Shah reported on social media that several people were also rescued from Jagat due to landslides. This flood follows another devastating natural disaster in Nepal earlier this year when an avalanche caused by a glacier collapse killed more than 1,400 people. Authorities have issued evacuation orders for villages along the river banks downstream to ensure safety.

Story summary

On October 11, 2026, flash floods caused by a landslide in Chumnubri village, Gorkha district (about 62 miles west of Kathmandu), swept through northern Nepal, destroying homes and infrastructure. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority evacuated villagers and warned others to move to safer areas until late Sunday. Videos on social media showed houses and bridges being carried away by the swollen Budhi Gandaki River. Around 10 people were reported missing, but there were no immediate reports of casualties. Damage included at least 35 houses swept away in Painyu and Bagar and six destroyed or damaged bridges, disrupting connections between settlements. Nepal was still recovering from a devastating August flood that left more than 1,400 people dead along the border with Tibet.
