Rescue operations are underway following a devastating flash flood on the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday. The full extent of the damage is becoming clearer, although some areas remain inaccessible. Anil Adhikari, owner of Glorious Eco Trek Nepal, flew over the area in a helicopter with a team from other tour agencies, searching for possible survivors. From the air, the landscape near Timure in Rasuwa district was unrecognizable, with everything covered and no visible houses or buildings.
