As the world takes stock, in the aftermath of the Nepalese earthquake, &Beyond has been gathering information on both the situation on the ground and the circumstances surrounding our guests and employees in the country.
Currently, relief and rescue operations are still underway in the Kathmandu Valley and other remote regions of the country. Flights have now been cleared to land at Kathmandu Airport as well as airstrips in India and neighbouring countries. While international flights have been allowed to operate, many flights have either been cancelled or delayed due to the current extreme weather conditions, which have ultimately caused further congestion at Kathmandu Airport. Priority has also been given to flights carrying aid supplies. The scene at Mt Everest is still bustling with Indian Army search and rescue teams, who are working in conjunction with aid rescue workers to bring people out of affected areas.
Thankfully, all &Beyond employees, their family members and our guests have been accounted for. The &Beyond teams in South Asia, and from our base in Africa, are actively working towards assisting those whose travel arrangements have been affected. We are proud to say that one of our guides was able to see his guests off at the airport despite suffering a broken hand and losing his house in the earthquake, and we have been incredibly humbled by many similar acts of service and selflessness, which those who have visited the region will know are a trademark of Nepalese hospitality.
&Beyond would like to thank everyone who has reached out to our teams in Nepal and South Asia. We have had an overwhelming response of concern and support, with many past guests and trade partners wishing to donate towards current relief efforts. So far, an incredible USD11 600 has been pledged to aid citizens in the country who have been directly impacted by the earthquake. From our initial research, we are planning to direct these funds to areas around Pokhara and Kathmandu, where many citizens have been left without food, clothing and shelter.
&Beyond has set up a relief fund for the Nepalese earthquake victims.
