Families of missing Kailash Yatris seek answers from Sadhguru's Isha Foundation
Summary
Families of Nepali tour guides missing in the Bhotekoshi floods have accused Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation of ignoring their contribution to the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. They are demanding that the foundation acknowledge the 12 Nepali support staff and provide compensation and support to the victims’ families.
Key Points
- Families say the Isha Foundation has acknowledged only its own 80 clients and volunteers, not the 12 Nepali guides and support staff who also went missing.
- Relatives of missing and deceased guides, including Gumbu Sherpa, Suresh Shrestha and Ratna Bahadur Rokaya, say the foundation has shown no sympathy or support.
- The Trekkers Society says all 92 missing people were part of the Kailash Yatra and is coordinating with the foundation to address grievances.
- An Isha Foundation representative says the 80 direct participants are being handled by the foundation, while Nepali support staff issues are being discussed with the local agent.
