The baby was trapped for about 22 hours, according to Kathmandu Today. Officials tried to rescue the baby on Saturday, but were unsuccessful and gave up around midnight. The boy's father, Shyam Awal, heard his cries that night and the army returned the next morning and saved the baby.
The boy, Sonit Awal, was taken to a local hospital to be examined, but reportedly avoided any serious injury in the ordeal.
