what we have to do in this question
Answer:
Kedarnath
In June 2013, a multi-day cloudburst centered on the North Indian state of Uttarakhand caused devastating floods and landslides becoming the country's worst natural disaster since the 2004 tsunami. The reason the floods occurred was that the rainfall received was on a larger scale than the regular rainfall the state usually received. The debris blocked up the rivers, causing major overflow. The main day of the flood was 16 June 2013. Though some parts of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in India experienced the heavy rainfall, some regions of Western Nepal, and some parts of Western Tibet also experienced heavy rainfall, over 89% of the casualties occurred in Uttarakhand. As of 16 July 2013, according to figures provided by the Government of Uttarakhand, more than 1000 people were "presumed dead." This total included 934 local residents.

A major portion of a hill collapsed on the highway near Hathipahad, blocking the road and leading to hundreds of vehicles being stuck on both sides.
Hathipahad has become a major trouble spot for pilgrims going to the Badrinath shrine as rains in the hilly region trigger landslides every year.
Vehicles on both sides have been told not to move ahead.
A major boulder has damaged about 65 meters of the road and the number of vehicles struck is said to be around 500.
Pilgrims who have reached the Badrinath shrine have been stopped there and asked not to take the return journey for the next 24 hours.
Those stranded between Hathipahad and the Badrinath shrine have been given refuge in the Govindghat Gurudwara.
Lakhs of pilgrims visit Badrinath every year. So far there are no reports of any injuries.
Prone to frequent landslides and floods, Uttarakhand had faced one of the worst natural disaster in 2013 when thousands had perished following a cloudburst.
