A flood caused by the Shintaphu glacial lake bursting its banks has washed ​away infrastructure at the Gasa Tshachu natural hot ‌springs in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, media reports said on Friday.

No injuries or loss of life have been reported, state ​broadcaster BBS said.

The hot springs at Gasa ​Tshachu are a major tourist attraction in the ⁠northern part of the country that is nestled between ​India and China.

BBS reported the extent of damage from ​the late night flash flood was not known because of “darkness and the strong flow” of floodwaters. Two bailey bridges — bridges built ​in portable, pre-fabricated sections — may have been washed away, ​the broadcaster reported.

Gasa Tshachu was also hit by a flash flood ‌in ⁠2021, when the Mochhu River changed course and swept through the area.

Kuensel, Bhutan’s national newspaper, said part of the road to Laya village where the springs are ​located had ​been washed away, ⁠making it impassable. The road has been closed for traffic indefinitely, the newspaper ​said.

The area had been evacuated before the ​flood reached ⁠the area, Kuensel reported.

In neighbouring Nepal, in a similar mountainous area about 600 km (370 miles) to the west, ⁠a ​flash flood on its border with ​China in August killed more than 1,500 people and left more ​than 5,000 missing.
