The Kali Gandaki River has emerged as one of the worst-affected waterways, with officials reporting extensive flooding and erosion along its course. The river has caused significant damage to homes, roads, bridges and other infrastructure. How Climate Change Worsened Nepal's Deadly Mountain Collapse.

The latest landslide footage provides a dramatic visual account of the impact of the heavy rainfall. As the mountain slope collapses, a huge mass of earth and rock can be seen falling directly towards the Kali Gandaki River.

The disaster has also disrupted connectivity in several areas. A concrete bridge connecting Syangja and Gulmi was swept away after the Kali Gandaki River rose sharply. The bridge had already sustained damage before being completely washed away by the swollen river.

24 Killed, 14 Missing In Nepal Rains

The massive landslide comes amid a wider natural disaster that has killed at least 24 people and left 14 missing across several districts of Nepal.

Manang, Myagdi, Baglung, Parbat and Palpa are among the worst-hit districts. Officials have reported multiple deaths and injuries, while hundreds of homes have been damaged or destroyed.

According to Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, the Kali Gandaki, Narayani and Tinau rivers have caused flooding, erosion and waterlogging in several areas.

The disaster has directly affected hundreds of families, with authorities reporting extensive damage to houses, bridges, government buildings and other infrastructure.

Hydropower Projects Also Affected

The rising Kali Gandaki River has also affected hydropower infrastructure. All three gates of the Mirmi dam of the 144-MW Kali Gandaki 'A' hydropower project in Syangja were opened fully as water levels rose, forcing power generation to be halted.

Flooding has also damaged transmission infrastructure in the Kali Gandaki Corridor, affecting electricity generation in the region.

Meanwhile, rescue and damage-assessment operations are continuing in the affected districts as authorities monitor river levels and the risk of further landslides.

The dramatic mountain-collapse video has underscored the scale of the disaster, with Nepal continuing to face dangerous conditions as heavy rainfall triggers landslides and flooding across the country.
