Nepal Trekking News

A landslide dam burst on the Budhi Gandaki before dawn on 11 October 2026 and flooded the lower Manaslu trail from Philim down to Soti. Houses, hotels and at least four bridges are gone. No deaths have been confirmed, but at least four people are missing. On 15 October the trails were still closed, about 100 foreign tourists and 80 Nepali trekking staff were still waiting for rescue, and Manaslu permit holders were allowed one entry into the Annapurna region instead. If you are booked on the Manaslu Circuit or Tsum Valley, wait for our confirmation before you start.

Yes. ACAP lists Thorong La open, and Nar Phu reopened on 15 October. Tilicho is unconfirmed, and Chame to Bhratang was walk-only on 7 October.

The 26 August flood hit one corridor. Everest and Annapurna are open, but Manaslu is shut by a new flood and the road to Langtang is only partly rebuilt.
