Nepal's disaster management authority has warned of increasing flood levels along the Bhote Koshi River following a major flooding event that swept through tourist and pilgrim destinations in the country's northern region.
Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) has issued a warning about rising water levels in the Bhote Koshi River, one of two waterways that experienced significant flooding this week. The surge of floodwater and debris traveled through the river on Wednesday, affecting several populated areas popular with both tourists and religious pilgrims in Nepal's northern regions.
The NDRRMA has advised residents and visitors in areas adjacent to the affected river to remain vigilant and take precautionary measures. The authority's warning comes as water levels continue to fluctuate, raising concerns about potential further flooding in vulnerable zones along the river's course.
