Yes. An avalanche struck the base camp of Mount Himlung (Himlung Himal), a 7,126-metre (23,380-foot) peak in north-central Nepal, on Sunday, September 27, 2026, killing at least two people during severe weather, according to reporting by AFP and AP published by Al Jazeera.
Rescuers said at least 10 people were brought to safety. Search teams continued looking for roughly a dozen to 14 missing expedition workers—mostly Nepali guides and camp staff who had been preparing the route for foreign clients at the start of the autumn climbing season. The remains of the two people killed were airlifted to Kathmandu on Monday, September 28.
Officials also reported weekend flooding and landslides in Manang district and broader severe-weather warnings across Nepal.
