Heavy rain is hampering rescue efforts.
A landslide has swept two passenger buses carrying more than 50 people into a swollen river in central Nepal.
Nepal’s rivers generally are fast-flowing due to the mountainous terrain. Heavy monsoon downpours in the past few days have swollen the waterways and turned their waters murky brown, making it even more difficult to see the wreckage. The buses were on the key highway connecting the capital to southern parts of Nepal when they were swept away near Simaltal, about 75 miles west of Kathmandu.
The three survivors were being treated in the hospital, the official said, adding that they reportedly jumped out of the bus and swam to the banks, where locals found them and took them to a nearby hospital.
