Urgent situation Elapsed time is calculated from the first logged report at 26 August 2026, 11:43 Nepal Time. The exact incident time was not reported.

Map limits

Map limits

Illustrative only. Does not locate the incident, people, routes, or photos.

Surface
27 August 2026 measured satellite-stereo DSM inside 500 m, plus historical NASA HMA 8 m and NextGIS/Copernicus 30 m references. EGM2008 display heights; 1:1 scale. Drawing datum tie unverified.
Measured coverage
The post-flood DSM covers 83.4476% of sampled posts inside 500 m and is NoData at the approximate station reference. Voids remain transparent; 0.5 m is grid spacing, not accuracy.
Portal
No displayed surface is a site survey and the measured DSM has no value at the approximate station reference. The 6 m outline marks the drawn entrance; no terrain cut is modeled.
Alignment
No north arrow or survey control. Overlay assumes +X is east; bearing unknown.
Tunnel trace
Registered to an as-built vector chainage plan. Widths approximate; gradients and opening endpoints remain unknown.
Front elevation
Uniformly scaled from EL 1387.492–1404.00 and attached to the powerhouse face for display. Its exact plan tie and facing are not surveyed.
Photo pins
Camera pins show archive photos; numbered pins show event media. Station-area pins are display anchors, not exact entrances or camera positions.
Incident
Reviewed sources do not identify the incident tunnel or exact position.

The 500 m post-flood DSM, OSM and Mapbox load only when selected. “Save offline” stores the measured terrain and core map files on this device. Historical terrain never fills measured voids automatically.

Map sources & accuracy

The post-flood layer is a measured-only 27 August 2026 satellite-stereo DSM inside 500 m. Its hillshade and elevation colour are two appearances of one surface. It is NoData at the approximate station reference; 0.5 m is grid spacing, not accuracy. NASA HMA and NextGIS/Copernicus remain explicitly historical alternatives and never fill its voids automatically.

      Dates and evidence

      Published or Reported is the source timestamp, not necessarily the event time. Occurred appears only when a source states it. Times use Nepal time (UTC+05:45). Open a source to see what it supports and what remains unverified; several reports may still repeat one account.

      Map controls and limits

      The reconstruction is site context, not an event-location map. Selecting an update does not place the incident in a tunnel; the branch and exact locations remain unverified.

      Left-drag to rotate, right-drag to pan, and scroll to zoom toward the pointer. With a viewport focused, arrow keys pan and plus or minus zoom. Use Map key & routes to inspect a feature.

      Choose Pan or Rotate, then drag. Pinch to zoom; use Reset for the overview. All map markers remain visible and available at overview scale; text labels appear as you zoom closer.

      Completed measurements are saved only in this browser, separately for Current, Top, Front, and Side. Clear a measurement to remove its local copy.

      Photos and personal notes

      Update photos open published images linked to the log. An area only marker means the source did not establish an exact camera or event location. Photo locations is historical station context, not incident-time evidence.

      Annotate saves personal map notes in this browser only; they are not part of the published record.
