NEPAL FLOOD DISASTER WORSENS — 45 Homes Destroyed, Multiple Missing (Latest News)

On October 11, 2026, a devastating flash flood struck Nepal’s Budhi Gandaki River valley after a suspected landslide created a temporary dam that breached multiple times. The sudden surge tore through riverside settlements west of Kathmandu, sweeping away homes, bridges, and infrastructure during peak trekking season. The floodwaters destroyed at least 45 homes and damaged vital river crossings, severing road access and leaving hundreds of residents and foreign tourists isolated in remote mountain villages. Five local sheep herders remain missing after a landslide buried their shelter, while active landslips and high winds have hampered helicopter search and rescue efforts. In this video, you will see footage of the dark torrent surging through the valley, the damage to villages and local hydropower projects, how local residents raised early alarms, and the ongoing aerial rescue operation. Confirmed casualty and missing-person figures are pinned in the comments and updated as official numbers change.
