STORY: Friends and family of flood victim Rohan Shrestha, 25, gathered at Kathmandu's Pashupatinath temple grounds on Saturday (August 29) for a final farewell and cremation ceremony.

Triggered by a glacier collapse, a torrent of rock, ice, mud and debris hurtled through mountain river systems on Wednesday, killing at least 669 people in Nepal and seven in China's Tibet and sweeping away buildings, bridges and power stations.

Nearly 3,000 people remain missing, including about 2,426 in Nepal and 554 in Tibet's Gyirong County, among them at least 540 foreign nationals, many of them Hindu pilgrims from India.
