Nepal-Tibet Flash Flood Kills 157, Leaves 403 Missing Including 341 Foreign Nationals

A flash flood on the Bhote Koshi River along the Nepal-Tibet border killed at least 157 people on 26 August 2026, with 403 missing — including 341 foreign nationals from 26 countries. Nepal's tourism board confirmed the figures. A wall of mud and rock collapsed into the river around 8:30am, sweeping away dozens at a border crossing. Experts cite a possible glacier collapse; Nepal's foreign minister cited an earthquake-triggered avalanche.
