Fremont Man Who Disappeared Hiking in India Found Alive

Samuel Vengrinovich, a 44-year-old man from Fremont, went missing on June 6 during a trek near Mount Triund in the Himalayas, India.
He was separated from his group while heading toward a glacier near the Indrahar Pass trail under harsh, foggy, and rainy conditions, which complicated the search.
Multiple teams including police, local trekkers, district authorities, Israeli rescue members, and friends conducted a nine-day search aided by drones amid difficult weather.
Vengrinovich survived with a broken arm by eating insects and following a river to reach Dharamsala village, and a fundraiser raised over $67,000 for his medical care and related costs.
He was found seriously injured and is recuperating at a local hospital, with his family expressing gratitude and requesting continued support for his recovery and financial needs.
