Tourists from Odia who were stuck in Sikkim have safely made their way back home.

The recent calamity in Sikkim left many tourists in a state of panic and uncertainty. With road communication cut off due to landslides caused by heavy rains, over 1,500 people, including tourists from Odisha, were left stranded in the Himalayan state. It was a harrowing experience for all those involved. However, after days of being stuck, the tourists can finally breathe a sigh of relief as they have been rescued and brought back home.

Among the rescued were two families from the Mayurbhanj district, who were grateful to the state government and the media for their support during this difficult time. Tapas Behera, from Bisoi village, expressed his gratitude towards the media for their help. He also mentioned how the state government's support played a crucial role in getting the Sikkim government to arrange for food and rescue support for the stranded tourists.

The journey to rescue the stranded tourists was not an easy one. Due to frequent network failures, the tourists were cut off from the outside world and had no means of communication. It was only when an officer from the state government reached out to them over the phone that they were able to get a contact number for someone in Sikkim. Despite the challenges, the Sikkim Tourism department stepped in and successfully rescued the tourists stranded in Lachung and brought them back to Gangtok.

The whole rescue mission was a risky and adventurous one, as described by the tourists. The bad weather conditions made it impossible for a helicopter to reach them, so they had to travel by road. The journey was difficult, with bad road conditions and landslides forcing them to walk for kilometres. They also had to hop on different vehicles and even cross a river using a damaged wooden bridge, accompanied by personnel and officials.

After a tiring and eventful journey, the tourists took a much-needed rest at an army base. The state government had arranged for food there, making sure that the stranded tourists were well taken care of. Once they reached Siliguri, they were able to start their return journey back home in their own vehicle. Despite the challenges faced, the tourists were grateful to be back home safe and sound, thanks to the efforts of the state government and the Sikkim Tourism department.
