Rescuers are searching for 12 people missing after an avalanche on Mount Himlung in Nepal, which has already claimed two lives. The incident occurred as climbers were preparing base camp for the autumn climbing season that began this month. At least 10 people have been rescued from the site, and rescuers airlifted two bodies to Kathmandu's Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. The avalanche is part of a broader warning issued by Nepal’s government about severe weather conditions affecting the Himalayan region, with flooding and landslides reported in other parts of the country over the weekend.

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.
