A UK-based Indian-origin couple, Anal Kar and Sanjukta Kar, reached Kathmandu on August 18 and was last in contact on August 26 near Timure while traveling toward the Nepal-Tibet border for the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. Reports from the Times of India describe other pilgrims returning from the same route after flash floods struck the Rasuwa Bhote Koshi region, though these accounts remain unverified. Reuters has confirmed that the risk of a lake burst at the China-Nepal site has since declined.
