A landslip on 11 October obstructed the Budhi Gandaki River, causing its depth to increase from 2 metres to almost 8.5 metres. According to Nepal's disaster risk reduction authority, two villages in Chumanubri were obliterated, 204 residences were damaged, and over 650 individuals experienced repercussions. A section of a hydropower facility was also damaged, resulting in over 100 international trekkers becoming stranded.
