GorkhaA flood swept away a dozen houses and two suspension bridges.
5 people are missing, and Nepal ordered thousands downstream to evacuate.
A landslide blocked the Budhi Gandaki, authorities said, and its level rose from 2 metres to nearly 8.5 within hours.
Experts say it is far smaller than August’s glacier-collapse flood, which killed 1,457 people, government figures show.
The river was still rising, and the 5 missing had not been found.
