Flash Flood in Tibet Leaves 77 Isha Foundation Pilgrims Missing, Rescue Efforts Underway
A flash flood struck the Gyirong area near the Nepal-Tibet border, inundating an immigration center where 77 pilgrims and three volunteers from Sadhguru's Isha Foundation were present. The group was returning from the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. While 495 pilgrims from 21 groups have safely returned, hundreds remain in Tibet and Nepal. Communication lines are down, and no official information is available on the missing individuals. Sadhguru is personally coordinating rescue efforts with local authorities despite challenging conditions.
