A flash flood on August 26 struck the Nepal-Tibet border region, leaving 77 members of the Isha Foundation missing. The group, led by Sadhguru's organization, was returning from the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage from Gyirong, a border town between Tibet and Nepal. The missing pilgrims, representing 19 nationalities, have been untraceable for two days despite rescue teams being on the ground.
The organization contacted embassies and government offices in India, China, and Nepal for assistance, but has not received any updates. The families of the missing pilgrims are experiencing emotional turmoil and anxiety as they await news of their loved ones. Over 600 people have died in the devastation, and nearly two thousand remain unaccounted for.
