Dilip Itwala
Father of the woman reported missing during a Nepal tour.
“My daughter left Valsad on the evening of the 25th of August for Mumbai. From Mumbai, she flew to Kathmandu with a tour operator and a group for a 5-to-7-day trip. They all gathered there and joined the tour. I spoke to her on the phone on the evening of the 25th; she told me where she was and mentioned that they were all planning to visit the immigration office early the next morning to obtain permission to travel to the Chinese border. That was the last conversation--on the evening of the 25th”
