Watching the video, we heard people shouting, but we couldn’t understand the language. 

We started our investigation by taking screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. This led us to a website where we found the viral video. According to the website, “At around 5:50 p.m. on July 4, due to a brief period of intense rainfall, a mudslide occurred in Shenzugou, Badi Town, Danba County, Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Local villagers captured dramatic footage of houses and river embankments being destroyed.

According to local government authorities, residents from two villages -63 households totalling 133 people – had been evacuated in advance of the disaster. No casualties have been reported.”

Taking this clue we conducted a relevant keyword search. This led us to a report published on a Chinese website which contained an image similar to the screenshots from the viral video and the viral video as well. According to the report, the video shows a mudslide in Badi Town, Danba, Sichuan on 4 July 2025.

This makes it clear that the viral video is from China.

Conclusion 

From our investigation, we can say that the claim is false. The viral video of the mudslide is not from Kullu, Himachal Pradesh. The video is from Badi Town, Danba, Sichuan in China.
