On Wednesday, a massive flood hit the Bhote Koshi River region in Rasuwa district near the Nepal-Tibet border, releasing a powerful flow of water and debris that impacted communities, roads, bridges, and hydropower facilities. The flash flood struck the Bhote Koshi River at around 9 AM local time. Authorities said the sudden surge appeared to have come from the direction of the Chinese side of the border before rushing downstream.
The hardest-hit areas included Timure and Syafrubesi in Rasuwa district. As the floodwaters moved downstream, they entered the Trishuli River and affected Nuwakot and other neighbouring areas, leaving little time for communities to respond. It led to the deaths of over 157 people, leaving many missing.
