More than 150 people have been killed, and hundreds remain missing after a catastrophic flash flood and mudslide devastated the Nepal-Tibet border region.
Four South Africans are among hundreds of tourists still missing after a devastating flash flood and mudslide struck the Nepal-Tibet border region, where the death toll has risen to more than 155.
The disaster unfolded after a powerful surge of water, mud and debris swept through northern Nepal, destroying homes, roads, bridges and tourism infrastructure in one of the country's most popular trekking and pilgrimage destinations.
Initially, Nepal's Tourism Board said that more than 300 tourists remained unaccounted for. However, that figure has since risen to more than 400 following Wednesday's flash floods along the Bhote Koshi River, one of the country's most popular trekking and pilgrimage routes.
According to the board, hundreds of tourists remain unaccounted for. The missing includes four South Africans, over 30 Australians, more than 100 Indian nationals, over 50 Americans, over 30 Britons, and more than 100 Nepali citizens linked to trekking agencies.
