The recent floods in Uttar Pradesh were devastating. Heavy rains and melting glaciers caused the Beas River and its tributaries to swell, triggering landslides and flooding homes due to the region's steep slopes, fragile geology, and lack of preparedness and early warning systems. The floods affected Manali and neighbouring areas, including Tirthan Valley, Sainj Valley, Mandi, Pandoh, and Kaza, wreaking havoc on infrastructure, roads and bridges, schools, and healthcare facilities. Many people lost their lives, homes, and livelihoods reliant on agriculture and tourism.
To help, we worked closely with local authorities and organisations such as District Administration at Kaza and Kullu, the Rotary Club in Manali, and the overarching Hotel Association & Adventure Tour Operators to provide immediate relief and support long-term recovery efforts. Our goal is to help rebuild these communities and create a more resilient future.
