One of them claimed to have been “thrown out of the window of the bus into the river” during their horrifying encounter.
The catastrophe happened in the early hours of Friday, and only three persons seemed to have survived.
According to the authorities, the landslide was caused by intense rains.
The monsoon season is in full swing in Nepal and other areas of South Asia. In recent weeks, there has been a lot of rain, which has caused floods and landslides that have affected millions of people.
On Friday, at 03:30 local time (21:45 GMT Thursday), a collision occurred in Chitwan along the Narayanghat-Mugling route.
Survivor Nandan Das said the bus “started rolling down all of a sudden into the river. I felt like I was going to die” after it had been traveling for nearly an hour and a half, according to the Nepali Service.
Even though it was “very dark at night… I found the river full of huge boulders and some foliage,” he claimed to have been able to swim to safety.We continued to swim while singing the name of God. God delivered us.
I finally reached the bank, even though I had no idea if I was swimming toward the river or inward. I then began to ascend the incline.
