The sudden deluge occurred on Wednesday morning in the Tibetan side of the Bhote Koshi River. The 33 UK citizens are among at least 341 foreign nationals unaccounted for, with the ages of the missing British citizens ranging from 13 to 65. Alpine Eco Trek, a guided tour company offering expeditions in Nepal, reported that 12 British nationals on their tour across the border were missing. The bodies of 157 people have been recovered, and over 40 others are injured and receiving treatment in hospitals. Initial reports suggested an earthquake may have triggered an avalanche, causing the catastrophic flooding.

The British embassy in Kathmandu has urged affected individuals to follow local advice and postpone travel plans.",
