Story summary

An avalanche hit a base camp near Mount Himlung in Nepal on Sunday morning, killing at least two people and leaving 14 others missing. The victims were Nepali guides and staff preparing the area for foreign climbers ahead of the autumn climbing season. Heavy snowfall and rain over recent days contributed to the disaster. Rescuers are searching the remote region but poor weather conditions have hampered efforts; some reports suggest a high chance of survival due to fresh snow covering the site. This incident highlights risks faced by Nepal's mountain tourism industry, which is vital for the country’s economy.
