PITHORAGARH, India - Indian authorities will likely take at least 10 days to recover the bodies of a group of climbers feared killed in an avalanche high in the Himalayas, government and police officials said on Wednesday.
The status of the other three climbers is not known, but officials have said the possibility of their survival is remote, and their bodies are likely to be near the five who had been spotted. “It will take at least 10 days to remove the bodies,” said Vijay Kumar Jogdande, the top government official in the remote mountain area.The climbers were attempting to scale an unnamed, previously unclimbed 6,477 meter peak near Nanda Devi when their route was hit by a “sizeable avalanche”, the company that organized the expedition, Moran Mountain, said earlier.
