A landslide at Bhasbhase in Beni Municipality-2, Myagdi, has blocked the alternative Baglung–Beni road, disrupting a route that connects Myagdi and Mustang with the national highway. The road was washed away and sections sank following heavy rainfall from Asoj 8 to 11, when flooding and erosion affected the area near the confluence of the Myagdi and Kaligandaki rivers. The damage has halted vehicular movement along the affected stretch and raised concerns about the risk of accidents.
Rainfall and erosion damage the route
Reports say heavy rain over several days led to flooding and erosion around Bhasbhase, where the Myagdi and Kaligandaki rivers meet. The resulting damage weakened the road, with parts washed away and other sections sinking. The landslide has left the alternative route blocked, creating a major challenge for road users who rely on the Baglung–Beni corridor.
The Nepal Press report describes traffic problems caused by the road collapse at Bhasbhase. The Khabarhub report and Ratopati report also report that the landslide has blocked the road connecting Myagdi and Mustang.
Impact on transport and road safety
The blockage has disrupted vehicular movement on a road described as an alternative connection between the districts and the national highway. With the route obstructed, vehicles cannot pass through the damaged section as usual. The available reports identify the interruption to traffic as a key consequence of the road collapse.
The damaged surface also increases the risk of accidents. Sections that have been washed away or have sunk can make passage hazardous, while the landslide has created an additional obstacle on the route. The danger is particularly relevant to vehicles attempting to negotiate a road affected by flooding and erosion, although the reports do not provide details about any accidents or injuries.
A major challenge for the alternative route
The Baglung–Beni road serves as an alternative route linking Myagdi and Mustang to the national highway. Its blockage therefore affects more than the immediate stretch at Bhasbhase: it interrupts a transport connection used to reach the wider road network. The reports characterize the landslide as a major challenge for the alternative route because the damage has both stopped traffic and made movement more hazardous.
The incident follows the heavy rainfall recorded from Asoj 8 to 11, which caused flooding and erosion near the river confluence. The road damage at Bhasbhase shows how those conditions affected this key section of the corridor, leaving the route washed out and sunken. The reports establish that vehicular movement has been disrupted, but do not specify when the road will reopen or provide details of a repair schedule.
