Manasi recounts her difficult journey back home
Manasi Parekh took to social media to talk about her journey back, stating that leaving China and reaching the Nepal border was extremely challenging.
On her Instagram story, she wrote, "Thank you so much for all the love, messages, calls and prayers.. the last 3-4 days have been overwhelming and getting out of China and reaching the Nepal border felt like winning a war.. there was a huge land slide at the China town of Nyalam which kept us waiting in our bus for 4 hours till we could start our journey out of China by road."
She added, "Then after a long bus ride of 40 miles we reached the border of Nepal where there had been another landslide which we had to walk through as there was no other way for us to make it till the buses waiting on the other side."

Manasi Parekh’s ordeal in Tibet
The Uri actress had earlier revealed she had been at the same location in Tibet just five days before it was ravaged by the devastating floods.
While documenting her Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, the actor had shared visuals from the region. After the floods struck, she posted a video showing the extent of the destruction and reflected on how recently she had been there.
On August 27, she shared visuals of the affected area and wrote, "This is what happened. We were supposed to be here tomorrow morning."
In another post, Parekh shared a video from her earlier visit to the location and wrote, “I was literally welcomed at this spot 5 days ago. So warmly! And now the whole place is submerged.”
The National Award-winning actress had been documenting her journey to Mansarovar regularly for the past one week, documenting how the journey has challenged her in more ways than one.

Flash floods hit Nepal-Tibet border region
On August 26, violent flash floods hit the Nepal-Tibet border, leaving a trail of destruction across the Himalayan region. A massive deluge of ice, rock, mud, and debris plunged nearly 1,200 meters into the valley below, triggering catastrophic flooding in the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers. The disaster claimed 903 lives in Nepal and 16 in Tibet.
The damage was especially severe in Nepal's Rasuwa district, with secondary flooding and debris flow washing downstream into Nuwakot and Dhading. The torrent destroyed crucial roads, bridges, homes, and public infrastructure, triggering secondary landslides that swept away transit routes and severely hindered rescue and evacuation efforts.
