Pilgrims and containers stuck on Nepal-China border roads

Traders diverted shipments to Tatopani after floods damaged the Kerung route, but ongoing landslides and traffic jams have left over 1,100 containers and hundreds of pilgrims stranded.

Around 1,100 containers loaded with festive goods are currently stuck along the Nepal-China border, raising concerns among Nepali traders ahead of Dashain, which begins in late September.
