Do you have a source about the Nepalese flood being a Lahar? I've only read that it was caused due to the glacier collapse, which seems like a different thing

I can't access the OP article at the moment, but there's a diagram of the the chain of events that caused the disaster here [1].
I believe Lahars are specifically volcanic, this would be better described as a combination flood and landslide at the same time.
