Yes Garg ji, Landslides are common but people getting stranded is not a good news....Have heard that another group which was suppose to depart from Joshimath for Valley of Flowers was trapped last night due to land slides from both end. I am on constant touch from people who were suppose to be at VoF during these days.
Just to update, we have devised alternative plan for our group, in case if VoF doesnt work, for Chakrata.
