Five Elephants Swept from Nepal to India by Flood

The event took place on August 27, 2026, in the Kali Gandaki River area, which straddles the border between Nepal and India. The flood, triggered by heavy monsoon rains, caused the river to overflow its banks, sweeping five elephants into India. The elephants were later found in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, near the town of Ranikhet. Officials from both Nepal and India are collaborating to track the elephants and ensure their safe return to Nepal.
