Nepal Rasuwa District Flood of August 26, 2026

On the morning of Aug 26, 2026, a huge section of rock and glacier ice collapsed from the flank of Langtang Lirung mountain. About 200,000 square meters of ice and rock fell 1,400m down the mountain destroying everything in its path in the Nepal's Rasuwa district. The area is one of the main land crossing points to Tibet used by pilgrims going to the Sacred Mount Kailash. For a couple of years, Ram and I have been talking about organizing a trek to the mountain and Gopal had guided tourists to the area this Spring.
As of right now at least 1,453 are confirmed dead and 6,664 missing. Among the missing are 5 men from Wapsa Khani village who worked as guides during the time of the flood. We have debated how we could support the ones affected by this disaster. We have decided that we would like to retain the connection to Wapsa Khani and provide some financial assistance to the wives of the 5 men who had been killed in the flood.
In some ways we all bear responsibility for what is happening in the Himalayas. Nepal produces only 0,1% of global CO2 emmissions but is the most vulnerable to climate disasters. Over the last 30 years, due to rise in temperatures, one third of its glaciers have melted and the Nepali people are paying with their lives for the actions of the rest of the world. If you feel moved to support this cause, your contribution will be greatly appreciated. You may do so through the FB fundraiser, NWL page or cash donations. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Below there is some information that Ram provided about the men and their families.

This August marked the 5th anniversary since Nepal Without Limits became a non-profit. We have been somewhat quiet, but always keeping the fate of Nepali people close to our hearts. Maybe there was a reason why we didn't do a project at the beginning of the year so we could preserve any available resources to support the families of 5 men from Wapsa Khani who worked as guides on the way to Mount Kalaiash and were killed in the devasting flood on the Nepal and Tibet boarder.
In a few days we will post more about them and as we would like to raise funds to provide some financial assistance to their families. Please stay tuned.

We are extremely saddended by the news of a catastrophic flash flood that struck the mountainous border region between Nepal and China's Tibet on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, leaving at least 160 people dead and hundreds missing.
Most likely a massive section of a glacier or an avalanche of ice and rock—possibly triggered by an earthquake—blocked a river along the border, sending a violent, high-speed wall of water, mud, and debris crashing through Himalayan river valleys.
Our prayers are with all affected by this tragedy.
💔 🇳🇵 🇨🇳 🙏 😢

It has been officially confirmed that renowned Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja (Nimsdai) has lost his life in the tragic avalanche on Broad Peak, Pakistan along with 9 other climbers.
Nirmal Purja was the former British special forces soldier and climbed all 14 of the world's 8,000 meter peaks in six months becoming one of the most celebrated, inspirational, but also controversial figures in modern mountaineering.

We are expressing deepest condolences to his family and the families of other 9 climbers who lost their lives during the expedition.

May they all rest in peace. 🕊️

On April 25th, 2015 Nepal suffered the worst natural disaster since 1934 Nepal-India earthquake: the Gorkha earthquake which killed 8,962 people and injured 21,952 across the countries of Nepal, India, China and Bangladesh. Its epicenter was east of Gorkha District at Barpak, about 85 km (53 mi) northwest of central Kathmandu.
Laxmi's village, Lapubesi is in the Gorkha region as well. Just yesterday, she shared pictures from May 2016 when she and James met with Prince Harry when he visited the region and was part of Team Rubicon working on the rebuilding projects. Lapubesi was a sight of our first uniform distribution project in March of 2021 and of our last one in November 2025 when we distributed 300 winter sweaters to students in three different schools. Our hope is to return to the village next year with a women and children outreach project.
