Avalanche Reckoning in Nepal: A Tragic Cycle Continues The discovery of five bodies at Yalung Ri mountain in Nepal's Dolakha district serves as a grim reminder that the country's trekking and climbing industry remains plagued by hazards, despite efforts to improve safety measures.
In November last year, three foreign climbers and two Nepali nationals went missing after being struck by an avalanche on this mountain, leaving behind only death and uncertainty.
The recovery of the bodies raises questions about the effectiveness of search efforts in Nepal's rugged mountains.
