RESCUERS in Nepal have recovered dozens of bodies buried in landslides following a monsoon which has killed at least 148 people, officials said today. 

Weather conditions improved following three days of rainfall and flooding, allowing rescue and clean-up efforts to get under way around the capital Kathmandu, but dozens were still reported to be missing. 

The city remained cut-off from the outside as landslides blocked three main roads.
