Two days after the team lost communication while climbing Dhaulagiri, the seventh-highest peak in the world, a tourism official revealed Tuesday that five Russian mountaineers had died while climbing in Nepal. The party vanished late on the evening of October 6 while attempting to reach the 8,167-meter (26,795-foot) Himalayan mountain, according to Rakesh Gurung of Nepal’s tourist department. Gurung informed the journalists, “A helicopter rescue team found five dead bodies.” “They fell from 7,700 meters.”
According to him, one climber who gave up on the summit attempt was saved off the mountain and “been admitted to hospital” in Kathmandu, the country’s capital. Every year, hundreds of people from all over the world come to Nepal for the autumn climbing season in the Himalayas. Eight of the fourteen highest peaks in the world are found in Nepal, and the country benefits greatly from the influx of foreign climbers that visit its highlands.
In addition to creating intense rivalry for business, the climbing industry’s explosive growth has sparked concerns that some businesses may be compromising safety. Dhaulagiri’s peak was first reached in 1960 by a Swiss-Austrian team and has since been climbed by hundreds of individuals.
