Summary

  • South African businesswoman Bavika Ramjee has been out of contact since her Kailash Journeys pilgrimage group reached the Nepal-Tibet border on the day floods hit, her brother Bhavesh said.
  • Bhavesh said Ramjee had been on her first Hindu pilgrimage — a lifelong ambition — and that the family has been contacting the embassy, checking missing-person lists and pursuing any lead.
  • East London-based Bhavesh described the search as "awful," saying the family still has no information on Ramjee's whereabouts after the border floods severed contact with the group.
