A Nepali army spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday they had rescued 118 Nepalese people and one British male as rescue efforts continued across the region.
More than 3,900 people remain missing.
The British national has not yet been identified.
Among the Nepalese people rescued, 44 are female and 74 are male, the army spokesperson added.
It has been previously reported that 33 British nationals are missing in Nepal in the wake of the floods.
More than 3,900 people remain missing – of whom more than 600 are workers believed to be trapped in a vast network of mud-filled tunnels at hydropower sites along Trishuli River.
Nepalese Prime Minister Balendra Shah said on Monday that 279 people had been rescued from the sites.
The rescue operation is being spearheaded by an international team made up of Chinese and Nepalese military personnel, while experts from India, Korea and Australia are also involved.
