A friend of mine has a quaint little restaurant + home stay called Cafe 42 in Sangla. Sangla is near the eastern borders of Himachal Pradesh hence quite close to Uttarakhand. There were no floods but very heavy rainfall for many days, leading to a power blackout for more than 7 days. Many roads have been washed out, there have been land slides here and some people have lost their property but no one is reported to have died.

She charged her phone in the market where there was an inverter. Here are some of the pics she sent me via Whatsapp (hence the low res)

Am in touch with her, she may go to the main bazaar area in Sangla and take pics there. If so will update here.

The Sangla town seems to be in an OK shape compared to other places in the valley and Kinnaur area of Himachal which seems to be worse hit.

      Yea, any one of us could be there. Scary. Add to that the news that locals are raising prices n stuff to fleece poor folks caught in this mess. Sad.
