'We are praying': Nepal travel groups search for missing tourists and staff after devastating floods

A tour operator in Kathmandu, Gopal Thapa, is desperately searching for 55 missing individuals, 46 tourists and nine employees, including his own brother, who went missing during devastating floods at the Nepal-China border. The group was en route to Mount Kailash for a pilgrimage when the disaster struck. Despite efforts by police, the military, and local authorities, no updates have been received about their whereabouts. At least 547 people have been confirmed dead, with over 1,473 injured. Many of the victims were foreign pilgrims heading to Kailash Mansarovar, a sacred site for Hindus and Buddhists. Other tour operators report similar losses, with hundreds of foreigners still unaccounted for.
