Kailash Pilgrimage Tragedy and Calls for Accountability | Johannesburg News

A deadly pilgrimage to Mount Kailash turned into a nightmare as landslides and flash floods ravaged the Nepal-Tibet border, claiming over 1,300 lives and leaving thousands missing. Among them are two couples from Ladysmith and a solo traveler from the Eastern Cape, all part of the Kailash Journeys group. One woman, who’d celebrated her 33rd birthday on the trip, remains unaccounted for — her mother has traveled to Nepal, scouring villages and demanding accountability from the Isha Foundation, which she accuses of prioritizing promotion over urgent support. The grieving mother insists on action, not platitudes, vowing silence won’t come until her daughter is found. Meanwhile, a Durban-based humanitarian, who narrowly escaped the disaster, urges the foundation to open communication lines and provide tangible aid to families still in agony, reminding everyone that behind every missing person is a heartbroken family needing dignity and answers.
