Abstract	This paper explores the intersection of ecocriticism, disaster management, and environmental consequences through the lens of Indo-Nepalese cultural and linguistic frameworks. Drawing from the literary traditions, indigenous knowledge systems, and shared Himalayan geography of India and Nepal, it highlights how language and cultural expression shape ecological awareness and response to environmental crises. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining literary analysis, oral traditions, and environmental discourse, the paper foregrounds the necessity of integrating cultural perspectives into disaster resilience strategies. It argues that indigenous languages like Maithili, Tharu, and Bhojpuri encode environmental knowledge crucial for sustainable adaptation. Moreover, the paper discusses how religious practices, folklore, and river-centric worship traditions offer a dual role in ecological reverence and degradation. By analyzing regional literary texts and eco-activism, including the Chipko and Bagmati movements, the paper demonstrates the importance of linguistic diversity and cultural memory in building a resilient ecological future across the India-Nepal border.
