Five friends from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, narrowly avoid Nepal’s flash floods after a short stop during their trip keeps them away from the area later hit by surging waters of the Trishuli River. According to reports, vehicles and debris are swept away as conditions worsen.
The friends leave Raipur on August 21 and reach Nepal the following day. They hire a car while planning to visit major tourist sites, including Pashupatinath Temple and Manokamana Temple. When flooding strikes, they take shelter and remain safe through the immediate danger period, reportedly for around two days, before eventually returning home without injuries.
While outlets focus on the “tea break” that coincides with the critical moment, both accounts describe the same core sequence: travel from Raipur to Nepal, a planned sightseeing trip, sudden flash flooding affecting the Trishuli River, and the group avoiding harm by staying out of the flood-impacted zone and seeking safety until it passes.
