The cloudbursts and subsequent flash floods have caused widespread destruction, including landslides, debris flows, and damage to infrastructure such as bridges and camps. Pilgrims in Amarnath, Jammu and Kashmir, were severely impacted by flooding in 2022, while Himachal Pradesh experienced landslides and infrastructure damage in 2023. The rugged terrain of the Himalayan states makes them particularly susceptible to such events, with under-recording of incidents due to limited rain-gauge coverage further complicating disaster response.
