Bodies of 3 Indians retrieved from Mount Everest

KATHMANDU: Bodies of three Indian climbers, two of whom had died last year on Mount Everest, were retrieved today from a high altitude camp on the world’s tallest peak and airlifted to the Nepalese capital.

Paresh Chandra Nath, 58, and Gautam Gosh, 50, were missing from April 7 last year.

Ravi Kumar, 27, had died last week when he fell into a crevice after conquering the world’s tallest peak. His body was also recovered from the same camp.

Their bodies have been sent to Kathmandu by helicopter for the post-mortem, My Republica said.

Nath and Gosh, who had reached in camp-4 on March 15 last year, were found buried under snow. They were associated with Trekking Camp Nepal Private Limited, Kathmandu for the Everest expedition.

They died last year but their remains could not be moved due to bad weather, according to tourism department officials. (AGENCIES)
