An avalanche in central Nepal killed at least 15 expedition workers who were preparing the base camp for later expeditions on Mount Himlung near the Chinese border. Rescuers recovered eight bodies on Thursday and are now searching for one missing worker with slim chances of recovery, according to Tul Singh Gurung from the Nepal National Mountain Guide Association. The disaster follows other major mountaineering accidents in 2014 and 2015 that caused significant loss of life, highlighting the risks associated with Himalayan climbing tourism.

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.
