A sudden flash flood entered Nepal from the Tibetan side on 26 August through the Bhotekoshi River near the Nepal–China border in Rasuwa district. The flood has affected areas along the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli river corridors, and authorities have issued high-alert notices for downstream areas including Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha and Chitwan.
As a precautionary measure, vehicular movement on the Prithvi Highway has been restricted. Road travel from Kathmandu towards Chitwan, Pokhara, Gorkha, Lamjung and western Nepal is currently affected. The Mugling–Narayanghat road has also been closed due to flood risk along the Trishuli River corridor.
Air travel between Kathmandu and Pokhara, as well as Kathmandu and Chitwan, remains available, subject to airline operations and weather conditions. Airport transfers within Kathmandu, hotels and essential guest services remain operational.
Our team is closely monitoring official updates and will make necessary adjustments to guest travel arrangements to ensure safe operations.
