10 climbers killed

Cyclone Montha hit Nepal on 27 October during the peak of the trekking and climbing season, and 10 people have been killed in avalanches and accidents on Nepal’s mountains. Seven were killed on Dolma Khang, one Korean climber died on Himlung and two French mountaineers died earlier on Ama Dablam. Eight climbers injured in a deadly avalanche on Dolma Khang in Dolakha were airlifted to Kathmandu. Thousands of trekkers were stranded in Annapurna, Manaslu and Khumbu after Montha dumped nearly 1m of snow last week.
