how did the pokhara landslide happen?
The Pokhara landslide is linked to an 800-year-old mega landslide event in the Annapurna region that shaped the Pokhara valley. This ancient geological event set the stage for the current landscape and natural cycles, including recent floods like the Bhotekoshi flood. While recent news reports mention various landslides in Nepal, including those blocking rivers and highways, the Pokhara landslide's origin is tied to this massive historic landslide rather than a sudden recent event.
