Abstract: This study examined the flooding of the Karnali River Basin (KRB) linked to El Nino and La Nina effects. It has been analyzed precipitation patterns and major floods from China to Nepal and India (1964-2020). Using the HEC HMS and HEC RAS models in the transboundary KRB with ENSO events. The ENSO's impact found a connection with hydrometeorological parameters on the flood response downstream of KRB. This research will help in future planning and managing the water resources during strong El Nino or La Nina events
