The floods in western Nepal have been quite severe recently. According to reports, there have been at least six deaths and five people missing due to floods and landslides disrupting major highways and damaging infrastructure across the country. The heavy rains have caused widespread flooding, particularly affecting the Tarai region and increasing flood and landslide risks in multiple provinces. The overall damage from the floods has been estimated at NPR 52.67 billion, and there are still 794 tourists reported missing. This situation has prompted calls for climate-resilient recovery plans to better handle such disasters in the future.
