Flooded Pilgrims: A Devastating Reminder of the Dangers of Mass Tourism At least 90 Americans are reported missing after flash floods swept through a border region between China and Nepal, leaving hundreds dead or unaccounted for.
The tragedy has been described as one of the worst natural disasters to hit the region in decades.
Many of the missing individuals were participating in a pilgrimage to Tibet's Mount Kailash, a holy destination for Hindus, Buddhists, and other faiths.
