The remote Himalayan village of Kyanjin Gompa is located in the Langtang Valley within the Langtang National Park region, part of the Himalayas near the Tibetan border, at an altitude over 3,800 meters high. It is nestled between the mountains Tsegro Ri, Kyanjin Ri, Langtang Lirung, Yubra Himal, Ganesh Himal, Gangchhempo Peak, Yala, and Nayakang in addition to glaciers, rivers, and lakes. Overlooking the settlement is Langtang Lirung, a peak in the Langtang Himal range with its highest point at an elevation of 7,234 meters - 23,734 feet. Langtang Lirung is the 99th tallest mountain in the world, first summited in 1978. On April 25, 2015, a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake triggered an avalanche and landslide in Langtang village, directly killing 243 people and obliterating the village. Langtang National Park is a popular trekking destination for both foreign trekkers and locals. The village's inhabitants are predominantly Tamang Tibetan or Lama Tamang, with origins from Tibet. The village offers tea houses, hotels, lodges, huts, a bakery, a monastery, and a cheese factory. Access to Kyanjin Gompa is only possible on foot, requiring a multi-day trek from the nearest road and town. Locals work with tourists but also with agriculture, farming potatoes or having yaks.

A drone view of the church spire of the submerged village of Graun protrudes from the nearly completely drained Reschensee Lake during construction work for a new alpine road on May 23, 2024, near Resia, Italy. Reschensee Lake is a reservoir formed by a 1950s dam. The road that traces its edge has become precarious due to unstable mountain rock overhead. To counter the dangers of rockfalls, avalanches, and mudslides, the road and nearby cycle path at Lake Resia near Curon Venosta are being relocated 70 meters closer to the reservoir. Climate change is melting the permafrost that stabilizes these alpine rocks, endangering numerous mountain passes across the European Alps. After the new road is constructed, Reschensee will be refilled. This ambitious project, costing 20 million euros, is expected to wrap up by June.
