A sudden flood struck an area in Nepal, forcing a family to evacuate urgently. Abhishek, a 16-year-old youth, managed to keep his grandfather safe by carrying him on his back through the water.

The family managed to reach higher ground and escape to safety. All members survived without injuries.

However, the house that Abhishek had tried to return to that morning ended up completely disappearing under the force of the flood.
