Kathmandu: The Nepal government on Monday resumed the search operation for four South Korean trekkers and their three guides who went missing since an avalanche swept a popular trekking route in the mountains.
The operation to rescue the seven people missing have become difficult due to heavy snowfall in the area.
The trekkers were en route to a Himalayan mountain near a base camp in the Annapurna region when the avalanche struck on Friday last. “The government is sending a well-equipped high-tech team to rescue seven missing trekkers in the Annapurna area of Kaski district on Monday,” the Department of Tourism said in a statement.
