The Himalayan Range is subject to both tectonic forces and climatic variations, each operating on different time scales, as observed in Nepal. Through the use of repeated photos, we try to illustrate some examples of very rapid geomorphological evolution, especially over the last 10 years, showing both the intensity of the processes in action (landslides, floods) and their potential impacts on inhabited areas and infrastructures under construction. We selected four sites from the middle Kali Gandaki valley (Annapurna–Dhaulagiri Himal) where frequent natural hazards are threatening the two-lane highway under construction, and two more sites in the south of the Everest massif to illustrate the changes brought about by the last 2015 earthquake.
