Some of the victims of the Nepal floods were pilgrims on a sacred journey
NPR highlights an important international dimension of the disaster: many of those killed or missing were pilgrims traveling toward a sacred mountain. The floods therefore extend beyond local communities and hydropower infrastructure into cross-border religious tourism. The large number of foreign nationals still missing has turned the disaster into a multinational consular crisis involving families and governments far beyond Nepal.
