A woman sent a voice note saying she had just finished a trek before she went missing amid severe flooding in Nepal, prompting rescue teams to intensify searches.
A voice message recorded by a woman just before she vanished reads, “Just finished the trek.” The recording was recovered after the monsoon‑season floods swept through parts of Nepal, leaving dozens missing and prompting a large‑scale rescue operation.
Local authorities said the woman’s identity has not been released, but the message has been shared widely on social media, highlighting the suddenness of the disaster. Emergency teams from the Nepalese government, along with volunteers, are combing river valleys and remote trails where the trek was believed to have ended.
The floods, triggered by unusually heavy rainfall, have inundated villages, damaged infrastructure and forced thousands to evacuate. Officials continue to assess the full impact while urging families of missing persons to stay in contact with relief centers.
Rescue officials remain hopeful that the message will aid in pinpointing the last known location of the missing trekker, as they expand aerial and ground searches across the affected districts.
