The Budhi Gandaki flood that struck its river basin on that unfortunate Sunday morning has certainly dealt Nepal a double blow, as the country has yet to recover from the earlier shock of the gigantic Bhotekoshi flood, nicknamed the Himalayan Tsunami, which hit on August 26. It originated in such a remote area that its cause is yet to be ascertained. Preliminary observations have attributed it to a landslide outburst flood, but the possibility of a glacial lake outburst flood further upstream cannot be ruled out.
