Sudden Flood on Nepal-Tibet Border Kills 157, Leaves 403 Missing

A sudden flood hit the Bhote Koshi River on the Nepal-Tibet border on 26 August 2026, killing at least 157 people. Nepal's tourism board says 403 are missing, including 341 visitors from 26 countries. A mass of mud and rock crashed into the river around 8:30am, sweeping away dozens at a border crossing. Experts suspect a glacier collapse; Nepal's foreign minister blames an earthquake-triggered avalanche.
