Kashmir Trip Turns Nightmare: Family Escapes Flash Flood Fury

Gurdev Singh and his family narrowly escaped death after a last-minute change of plans saved them from devastating flash floods and landslides in Kashmir. They had planned a trip to the valley on the evening of April 19, 2025.

Torrential rain forced them to seek shelter in a hotel. This unexpected delay proved crucial to their survival.

Had they proceeded as planned, they would have been caught in the raging waters and debris that swept through the region later that night.

The family, along with several others, were among the fortunate few to escape the calamity unharmed. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of Himalayan weather and the importance of heeding weather warnings. Authorities have since issued fresh advisories for tourists visiting the region.
