Among the missing are 133 Indian pilgrims heading to Mount Kailash in Tibet, 47 Americans, 34 Australians, 33 Britons, and 24 Canadians.\n\nThe floods also affected security personnel, with 85 unaccounted for, including 44 from the Nepal Army, 28 from Nepal Police, and 13 from the Armed Police Force.
