List of major floods

Tilgau GLOF : In early May 2025, a sudden glacial lake outburst occurred in the remote Himalayan village of Tilgau, Humla on the night of May 14. Two small glacial lakes burst, triggering an ice-and-debris avalanche that destroyed five wooden bridges, damaged homes, irrigation and hydropower infrastructure, and displaced around 32 villagers into temporary shelters. No rainfall had been reported at the time, suggesting the event was triggered by glacial instability rather than a storm. Rasuwagadhi flood: A severe flash flood on July 8, 2025, caused by monsoon rains and a likely glacial lake outburst, swept away the Friendship Bridge over Nepal’s Trishuli River at Rasuwagadi. The disaster left at least eight people dead, dozens missing, destroyed hundreds of parked trucks and electric vehicles, and halted cross-border commerce. Rescue operations by Nepalese army and authorities have rescued around 55 people, while multiple bodies have been recovered. Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli visited the site as relief efforts intensified. The flood was later confirmed to have been caused by outburst of a supraglacial lake in the Tibet region of China.
