Tea break & an alert driver: How Kailash pilgrims narrowly escaped Nepal floods

Twenty-eight pilgrims from three Indian states safely returned home after escaping Nepal’s devastating flash floods. A brief tea break and a ten-minute delay proved crucial in saving their lives. Another group’s visa delay inadvertently kept them from the flood zone. They witnessed buses and villages being swept away by the raging waters. Officials are coordinating efforts to rescue other stranded pilgrims from Andhra Pradesh.
