Many across the tri-state are desperately waiting for news from their loved ones who were in Nepal at the time the devastating flooding and mudslides took out roads, homes and buildings. “Our biggest concern is, we don’t have a full grasp of the time they may have gone through the check point ,” said Dhruv Amin, of Old Westbury on Long Island. Amin’s mother, Amita Amin, and his mother-in-law, Tejal Patel, had gone to Kathmandu to make the trek to Kailish in Tibet, to visit one of the holiest sites in the Hindu and Buddhist religions.

They had gone on the religious pilgrimage with the tour company, Nepal Trekking Planner, based in Kathmandu. There were about 10 of them in the group, seven of whom are Americans, mostly from the tri-state area. Amita has made the arduous journey six times already and was accompanying Patel and other friends on this pilgrimage. The group was supposed to cross into Tibet Monday night, but one of the cars broke down and they needed to get it fixed. They left Tuesday morning as a result. The tour operator, Dipak Lamichhane, told NBC New York that he received a call from his son in law, Abhishekh Singh, who was leading the group around 8 a.m. Tuesday saying they had crossed the border into Tibet.   Lamichhane said Jitendra Manubhai Patel, who is friends with the Amins and traveling with the group, contacted his family around 8 a.m. that same day and told them they had crossed the border. But shocking video of this government building being swallowed by water and debris, makes the family nervous, because they know the group must pass through here first before crossing the border. Dhruv recalls his reaction seeing the video. “My first thought was — I’ve been in front of that building. And then you see the water hit it, and I’ll be honest, that’s when I started crying. That’s the hardest thing to see,” said Dhruv Amin. Crossing the border is considered the easiest part of the trip. It is the trek — 20,000 feet above sea level — that is more treacherous because of dirt roads and altitude sickness. But Amita Amin has taken this journey six previous times, and even brought Dhruv back in 2010. “She’s literally the strongest person I’ve ever met. If she’s stuck she’s gonna find a way out, that’s how she is. She’s the most tenacious person I’ve ever known,” Dhruv Amin said about his mother, who he said is very religious. “She’s probably saying God‘s gonna save me. I know that’s how she is.” Now all the families are praying and hoping that the silence is because of poor communication and not something worse. “I hope, I hope wherever you are, listen to me! Come back,” cried Mahendra. “I’m missing you.” ...read more read less
