An 11-member group traveling to Gosainkunda has been stranded in Simmutar of Bidur Municipality 1, Nuwakot, after severe flooding swept away the vehicle they were traveling in. The Gosainkunda Travelers group managed to escape from the vehicle and reach a safer location, but relatives say communication with them has since become difficult, raising concern about their safety as rescue efforts are being initiated.
The incident occurred while the group was traveling toward Gosainkunda, one of Nepal’s major pilgrimage and mountain tourism destinations. According to relative Purna Khadka, the vehicle carrying the travelers was swept away by floodwaters. The passengers were able to get out of the vehicle and move to a safer area, but their situation remains uncertain because regular communication has not been possible.
Communication Becomes Difficult As Rescue Efforts Begin in Gosainkunda
Purna Khadka said the family had been able to maintain contact with the group for some time after the incident. However, communication has reportedly become increasingly difficult, leaving relatives anxious about the travelers’ current condition and exact location. The loss of regular contact has raised concerns, particularly because floodwaters may have damaged roads, disrupted mobile networks and made it difficult for the group to move safely.
Information about the stranded group has already been communicated to the concerned authorities, who are working to gather further details and coordinate the necessary rescue response. Officials are expected to verify the group’s location, assess the condition of the surrounding roads, and determine the safest way to reach them. The difficult conditions caused by flooding have made access and communication challenging, increasing the urgency of efforts to locate and assist the group. Relatives are waiting for further updates and hoping that rescue teams can establish reliable contact with all 11 travelers and bring them to safety as soon as possible.
11 Gosainkunda Travelers Among Those Caught In The Flood
The stranded Gosainkunda Travelers group reportedly includes Apsara Khadka, Pramila Shrestha, Tune Bahadur Raut, Geyal Bisht and Ashoka Raut, along with six other members. They had been traveling together toward Gosainkunda when flooding in the Simmutar area disrupted their journey.
The fact that the group managed to leave the vehicle and reach a safer location has provided some relief to their families. However, the reported loss of communication has heightened concerns, particularly as flood conditions can change rapidly and road access in affected areas may be disrupted.
Authorities Working To Bring The Group To Safety
Rescue and relief efforts are now being pursued after authorities were informed about the stranded travelers. Further information is expected as officials establish contact with the group and assess the safest way to reach them.
The incident highlights the serious travel risks created by flooding during the monsoon season, particularly along routes leading to popular mountain and pilgrimage destinations. For travelers caught in such conditions, timely communication, coordination with authorities, and access to appropriate rescue resources are critical. As efforts continue, the immediate priority remains confirming the condition and location of all 11 travelers and bringing them to a secure area as soon as possible. Families and concerned individuals are awaiting further updates on the group’s safety.
