Nepal Flood Relief

Help provide medical assistance to flood affected communities in Nepal.

The Australian Himalayan Foundation is deeply saddened by the devastating floods affecting mountain communities across Nepal and Tibet, as well as the travellers visiting the region. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this tragedy.

How you can help 
The Australian Himalayan Foundation plays a focused, localised role in disaster response, supporting emergency relief and long-term recovery through trusted grassroots Nepali partners.

Through our current telehealth program, we partner with One Heart Worldwide, specialists in maternal and newborn care. One Heart Worldwide has active programs in the flood-impacted region and is already delivering critical medical aid to affected families. 

In solidarity, we are supporting their efforts. Join us and donate today to help deliver emergency medical care to affected communities.

2026 Nepal - Tibet Flood

What happened
On August 26, a catastrophic glacial collapse on Nepal’s Langtang Lirung sent a massive ice chunk plunging into the valley below. The impact struck with the force of a 5.2 magnitude earthquake, instantly melting ice and mixing with mountain debris to form a dense, deadly flash flood.

In under 30 minutes, the Lhende Khola, Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers surged by up to 9 meters, destroying homes, communities and essential infrastructure across Rasuwa, downstream into Nuwakot District as well as across the border in Tibet. Thousands of families lost everything in seconds and are now in need of urgent relief including emergency medical care.

We are so thankful that all of our local NGO partners, staff and field teams are safe and accounted for. We do not have projects operating in the districts directly affected by the floods.

The Himalaya 
Disasters of this scale underscore the growing vulnerability of the region, where climate change fuels glacier melt, heightening the risk of extreme disasters like this. We remain deeply committed to embedding disaster risk reduction into all our programs and supporting environmental initiatives that build long-term climate resilience across the World’s Third Pole.
