Nepal has issued a fresh flood warning after water levels rose in the Bhotekoshi River.
Authorities urged residents in affected districts to remain alert as rescue teams clear damaged roads.
The latest warning comes days after catastrophic floods killed hundreds across Nepal and Tibet.
Nepal’s disaster agency said the death toll had reached 788, with 2,502 people still missing.
Chinese authorities reported 16 deaths and 546 missing people on their side of the border.
Officials said the warning followed information from China about increased water flow upstream.
A newly formed mountain lake has largely drained, but another water-filled crater remains a concern.
Authorities said the crater holds about 1.4 million cubic metres of water.
The flood disaster has left villages buried under mud while bridges, homes and roads were destroyed.
In Dhading, survivors returned to damaged homes searching for belongings they could still save.
“Everything is finished. Nothing is left. Not even our home,” resident Sharmila Tamang told The Associated Press.
Other residents described exhaustion from repeated flood alerts and having to move to safer areas.
“Sometimes they say a flood is coming, then we have to run again to higher ground, even at night. There is also rain,” Govind Shreshta said.
The floods followed a major glacial collapse in the Himalayan region. Scientists said the collapse sent rocks and meltwater into rivers, creating powerful torrents downstream.
Nepal has called for stronger global action on climate change following the disaster.
“Despite having only 0.1% contribution to the global emissions, people of Nepal have become major victims of climate change,” Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal said.
Malaysia has also announced plans to send a search-and-rescue team to Nepal.
