10 missing as another avalanche hits Nepal’s Manang
An avalanche struck the Himlung Himal peak in Nepal’s Manang district, leaving ten people missing, according to reports from Kathmandu Post. The missing are believed to be a mix of climbers and support personnel, with two from Imagine Nepal Pvt Ltd and the rest from Himalayan Holidays Nepal. Rishi Bhandari, general secretary of the Expedition Operators Association Nepal, confirmed these details.
Nepal's Department of Tourism director general, Ram Krishna Lamichhane, stated that authorities are closely monitoring the situation. Rescue efforts are in progress, with officials working to gather more information and organize a search and rescue operation. Nepal had been issuing warnings about potential avalanches and flash floods since September 22 due to heavy snowfall and continuous rain in high-altitude regions.
This incident follows a devastating avalanche in Rasuwa, which triggered a flash flood and resulted in nearly 1,400 deaths just weeks ago.
