Nepal Rescuers Find Bodies of Five Climbers Killed Last Year
Authorities say thick snow had covered the remains of three foreign climbers and two Nepalis missing since last November.
- On Aug 8, Nepali rescue workers spotted five bodies at a site on Yalung mountain where five climbers went missing in an avalanche last year.
- The missing group included three foreign climbers—an Italian Canadian, an Italian, and a German—plus two Nepali nationals who disappeared on the 5,630-meter mountain in Dolakha district, Nepal.
- Phurba Tenjing Sherpa of the Dreamers' Destination hiking company said bad weather prevents teams from reaching the site near Bongar Khola. "The bodies may have come out after the snow melted," he said.
- Authorities have not yet confirmed if these remains belong to the missing climbers, as rescue teams wait for visibility to clear before attempting recovery.
- Yalung rises 18,470 feet in the Rolwaling Valley, bordering the Tibet region of China, where climbers contend with mixed terrain of rock, ice, and snow.
