1:57Now PlayingAuthorities in Nepal and Tibet say hundreds of bodies have been retrieved after floods gushed through Himalayan river valleys Wednesday. More than 1,000 people are still missing.
The floods gushed through an area popular with Hindu worshippers who were on a pilgrimage to circle a sacred peak known as Mt. Kailash. That peak is in Chinese-held Tibet — it’s largely reached by crossing in from Nepal. The flooding was caused after a glacier collapsed into a river valley. Experts say the Himalayas are warming faster because of human-caused climate change.
Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department says dozens of Americans are still unaccounted for. The department has set up call centers and is urging Americans to be in touch with the U.S. embassies.
