Recent Seti Flash Flood May 2012
Jogging back to old memories of Kharapani two years back and visiting the same spot after the flash flood on 5 May is a shocking experience. Last week I along with a team of journalists led by Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) were there to witness the magnitude of flash flood and make some finding of such such natural disaster in the Himalaya country. Here's few pictures from the trip.
