Foreign climbers stranded on Mt Manaslu

Kathmandu, Sep 11 (UNI) Hundreds of foreign climbers and their support staffers have been stranded on the world’s eighth highest peak in western Nepal after expedition handling agencies failed to supply necessary logistics, including foodstuff to the Mt Manaslu region, according to a report published in The Himalayan Times.
Expedition handling agencies said they failed to charter helicopters to ferry climbing logistics to the mountain region while helicopter operators blamed the government for the prolonged crisis.
Mingma Sherpa, managing director at Seven Summit Treks, said expedition operators couldn’t manage chartered flights to the Manaslu region due to unavailability of helicopters. Over 100 climbers and support staffers from his company have been stranded due to lack of food and other logistics in Mt Manaslu region, he informed.
