VIDEO | ‘I am so grateful’: Terricia Govender’s birthday video before Nepal flood disappearance
erricia Govender shared a joyful birthday video from her Mount Kailash pilgrimage days before she was reported missing after Nepal floods.
Just days prior to Terricia Govender disappearing amidst Nepal's devastating flash floods, the 33-year-old from Durban shared a jubilant video from her Mount Kailash pilgrimage. On August 20, the video documented her day as she journeyed towards Lake Manasarovar, a site of spiritual significance in Tibet. Terricia, who had been looking forward to the trip for months, described meeting spiritual leader Sadhguru as a "blessing" and a unique experience.
She recounted seeing Sadhguru "up close and personal", expressing her gratitude for the opportunity. The video was posted just before her family was left in suspense following the tragedy. Terricia's mother, Linda, found the encounter particularly meaningful as it coincided with her daughter's birthday. Terricia, who had turned 33 during the pilgrimage, was part of an organized group from the Isha Foundation, traveling back from Mount Kailash when the floods hit an immigration office on the border.
The video now carries a heavy weight for her family, anxiously awaiting news of her safety in Durban.
