Tibet Floods Sever Roads, Isolate Nepal Border

A massive flood in the Lhendekhola River, originating in Tibet and flowing towards Nepal, wreaked havoc on Tuesday morning, July 8, 2025. The deluge swept away a bridge and several vehicles.

Sections of the vital Pasang Lhamu Highway were also severely damaged. This has effectively cut off road access to Rasuwagadhi, a key border point.

The destruction has severely disrupted connectivity in the Rasuwa district of Nepal, impacting trade and essential services.

This incident highlights the vulnerability of border regions to natural disasters and underscores the need for robust infrastructure and disaster preparedness measures in the Himalayas. The disruption to trade routes between Nepal and Tibet could have significant economic consequences for both nations.
