At Least 160 Killed, 403 Missing After Flash Floods Hit Nepal-Tibet Border

Flash floods devastated Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts on Nepal's Tibet border on August 26, 2026, killing at least 160. Nepal's tourism ministry reports 403 missing — 341 foreign nationals from over a dozen countries, including 47 Americans and over 100 Indian pilgrims. Scientists suggest a glacier ice detachment may have triggered the flood, consistent with rising Himalayan glacial hazards linked to climate change.
