More than 1,300 people were killed in the floods triggered by a glacial collapse near the Nepal-Tibet border, with 5,000 still missing including more than 30 British nationals.
Prajval has been in close contact with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office but as yet, there is no information on his parents.
“I think the first instinct was obviously for me to go out there and try and do what I can,” Prajval explained.
“But, talking to people, talking to the Foreign Office and everyone, I think it’s me as someone with no rescue experience or anything like that, I think I’ll just create more of a hassle by going out there.
“I think there’s very experienced people there, doing very important work. I think it’s important to have faith in them to do that job,” he added.
Prajval said his parents’ pilgrimage had been in the planning “for a while”.
“My mum has really wanted to visit this part of the world for a long time, ever since she’s seen pictures of it in school textbooks.”
He explained that for his parents, “the natural beauty of being in the mountains was also very important”.
