Six Indian tourists missing in Nepal's Dolpa after heavy snowfall

Heavy snowfall and no mobile coverage are hampering rescue efforts as authorities seek helicopter support for the six tourists.

  • Six Indian tourists, including two women and four men, went missing near the Numla Pass and Bagla Pass areas while traveling from Dho towards Shey-Phoksundo Lake in Nepal's Dolpa district.
  • Despite warnings regarding hazardous weather and snowfall, the group proceeded towards the high-altitude area; local reports link the adverse conditions to Cyclone Arnab developing over the Bay of Bengal.
  • Shey-Phoksundo Rural Municipality Chairman Dhawa Samduk Gurung said mobile phone communication is unavailable in mountain passes between Wards 4 and 8, hampering rescue efforts to determine the tourists' whereabouts.
  • Dolpa Deputy Superintendent of Police Anil Raj Giri confirmed the six tourists remain uncontactable; authorities deployed the Nepal Army and requested aerial support for search and rescue operations.
  • The district administration advised travelers to avoid risky mountain routes until conditions improve, noting that 4,882 tourists visited Phoksundo Lake during the first 11 months of the fiscal year.
