We're in Dading, where we're seeing some of the roads are opening up,
including parts of the main Seppal Highway that was shut down.
The highway serves as a major way for things to get in and out of Katmandu,
and there's fears there may be shortages ahead of the autumn festival season.
Behind us, you're seeing along the river.
We've been getting warnings all morning that the river levels might be rising
and that water's moving very, very fast,
so locals have been advised to move way to higher zones, away to safety.
We got the SMS alert from flood control department,
and local police and army persons informed us that there is a flood coming,
second phase of the flood.
There is some deposit that is drossed, and the flood is coming.
Go to the safe place.
That's why we came to some height from the ground level.
You can see also the extent of the destruction.
There's entire homes, there's tractors, farming equipment, vehicles
completely submerged in the sediment by the riverside.
I think the extent of the damage is still being surveyed
because areas are very hard to access.
