Ladakh is a popular place in the Himalaya for Western tourists.
There are lots of tourists over there during the disaster.
The highway to Leh was damaged, so the tourists were stranded.
At least 100 foreign tourists, mostly Europeans had been rescued.
None has been reported killed or injured.

it was really sad and really terrible part.So many people died there and lot of them got injuries.
i really pray for everyone from every core of my heart so that they can come out quickly from this terrible situation.it was really big loss not for only a individual but for the nation too.
everyone here is happy that our independence day is coming but i think we are still prisons because even after freedom of 63 years still we are not able to handle such kind of situations.we have a vast advance technology but still we are helpless.
again i want to say that it was really bad and terrible.
