Relentless and torrential monsoon rainfall over three days supersaturated the alpine soil and weakened the geological framework, triggering a massive landslide where an entire section of a mountainside collapsed directly into the swollen Kali Gandaki river.
Floods and landslides across several districts in Nepal resulted in at least 24 deaths and left 14 people missing.
The most affected areas include Manang, Myagdi, Baglung, Parbat, and Palpa districts, with Parbat experiencing some of the most severe property destruction and displacement.
