The bridge of the Simbuwa River on the way to the South Base Camp of Kanchenjunga Mountain, the third highest in the world, has been washed away by floods. Sirijanga Rural Municipality-8 Yamfudin Ward President Krishna Gurung said that the bridge at Torongdin was washed away.
According to Gurung, the remote development committee under the then district development committee had built the bridge here.
Gurung has said that it is believed to have been swept away by the flood on the night of June 28. Due to the absence of the bridge, going to the South Basecamp has been completely blocked for the time being. From Yamfudin, the base camp is reached through New Jhoreni, Zhande Danda, Dundu Danda, Torongdin. Domestic and foreign tourists go trekking through this route from August to November.
'Once the river recedes and is able to cross, then it will be possible to go,' Gurung said, 'The Barkha river is not going to recede now.' As there is a shortage of water in the Auli region, the flood and damage in the Himalayan region is fast. "You don't know when it will rain and flood in the mountains," Gurung added, "You only know when the rivers rise."
