  "summary": "Rescuers in Nepal have finally recovered the bodies of five climbers, including three foreigners, who were killed in an avalanche near the Chinese border last year, according to officials. The avalanche struck the climbers on the lower slopes of the 5,630m Yalung Ri peak, close to Nepal’s border with Tibet, in November 2025. The victims included an Italian-Canadian, a German, and an Italian, as well as two Nepalis. The bodies were initially spotted on Saturday, but due to thick snow, the search was postponed. However, after the snow melted this time, the climbers’ remains were found by helicopter. The recovered bodies will be transported to Kathmandu once the weather conditions are favorable. Nepal, known for hosting eight of the world’s 10 highest peaks, including Mount Everest, attracts thousands of climbers and trekkers annually. Over 1,000 people have lost their lives on these peaks since 1950, with avalanches being responsible for nearly a third of these fatalities.",
