Nepal was hit by serious flooding during May 2012.

The floods are thought to have been caused by waters of the Seti building near its source, high above the snowline, during days of rain and then suddenly bursting free. The flooding was worst in the western part of the country. Two villages were especially badly hit when water surged down the Seti river because of a landslide.[1] Officials say that rocks, earth and other debris blocked the river and caused flash flooding.[2][3]
