'We are safe here' - Malaysians at Annapurna Base Camp
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians currently at Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal are safe, with the area unaffected by flash floods that have hit several parts of the country.
Malaysian hikers trekking at Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal have been reported safe after a flash flood caused by a glacier collapse at the Nepal-Tibet border. According to freelance tour guide Muhammad Hafizal Hamidon, the group was unaffected as the location of the flood was far from their trekking route. The incident occurred in the Langtang Valley, and none of the Malaysian hikers or other Malaysians have been identified as affected by the tragedy.
The group's road access route back to the city was slightly disrupted, but is expected to be restored within a few days. The Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu is currently uncontactable with 55 Malaysians reported missing due to the floods.
