  • Twenty-eight Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka narrowly escaped the Nepal floods and returned home safely.
  • A short tea break delayed their journey by 10 minutes, keeping them away from the Syabrubesi bridge when floodwaters swept it away.
  • Their driver quickly changed the route after sensing danger, taking the group to safety.
  • A separate three-day delay in getting their visas had also pushed their travel schedule back, potentially saving them from being on the bridge when it collapsed.
