Viral Nepal Flood Clip Actually Shows Indian Landslide

Footage depicting a destructive mudslide barreling through a road has been falsely attributed to a devastating flood in the Nepal-Tibet border region that occurred in August 2026. This event tragically resulted in at least 586 deaths and over 2,400 people missing, with the Red Cross reporting up to 93,000 people affected. The disaster was likely triggered by a glacial collapse, causing a massive flow of debris.

However, the viral video showing the wall of water and debris is actually from July 2026. It was recorded in India's southern Kerala state near a tunnel construction site in Wayanad. Visual details and confirmation from a local restaurant owner establish the footage's origin. The landslide in India, exacerbated by monsoon rains, caused at least eight fatalities.
