Dear Life Members of NGS, Geographers, Geoscientists, Researchers, and Students,

Greetings from the Nepal Geographical Society.

On 26 August 2026, the sudden flood that struck the Lhede - Bhotekoshi - Trishuli River caused significant loss of life, critical infrastructure, and property, with an increasing risk of such disasters in Nepal’s mountainous regions and cryospheric areas. In this context, Nepal Geographical Society (NGS) has organized this special episode of the NGS webinar series to better understand their underlying causes, impacts, and potential risk-reduction and mitigation measures.

In this episode, Prof. Narendra Raj Khanal, PhD, Professor of Geography, Tribhuvan University, will speak about “Extraordinary cryospheric flood disasters of August 26, 2026, in Chhochen/ Lhede/ Kerung/ Bhotekoshi/ Trishuli River, Central Himalaya”.

Thus, NGS warmly invites all interested professional geographers, geoscientists, researchers, policymakers, and students to join this special event and participate in the discussion.
