In a remarkable twist of fate, twenty-six pilgrims from Bheemili narrowly escaped devastating flash floods in Nepal after a delayed flight and impromptu tea stops altered their travel schedule.

The group, en route to the sacred Mount Mansarovar, was held up by aviation disruptions and subsequently opted for multiple refreshment pauses along the rugged mountain highway.

Those brief pauses kept the convoy safely behind the disaster zone when catastrophic landslides decimated the route ahead. All pilgrims are reported unharmed and preparing for their journey home.
