The family of a 33-year-old woman from Isipingo Beach is anxiously awaiting news of her whereabouts after she went missing when devastating flash floods struck the Nepal-Tibet border.

Terricia Govender was among a travel group that was at the border when an immigration office was washed away in the floods on Wednesday.

Her mother, Linda Govender, told POST Terricia had embarked on her pilgrimage on August 12 and had been looking forward to the trip for months.

Govender was travelling alone but was part of a larger tour group associated with the Isha Foundation, which was returning from the Mount Kailash Yatra when the disaster struck.
