KATHMANDU, Nov 4: The condition of a Slovakian citizen, Onrej Husarke, 34, remains unclear after going missing for five days on Langtang mountain.
Police have located Husarke in a crevasse deeper than 30 meters on the mountain. It is difficult to rescue him from the gorge which is located more than 7000 meters above sea level in Gosainkunda Rural Municipality-3.
Chief of the District Police Office, Rasuwa, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Keshab Bhattarai informed that his rescue could not be carried out on Monday due to adverse weather conditions preventing helicopter access. A team which had gone for aerial rescue discovered his clothes, sleeping bag, and other belongings. He was eventually found during the search operation in the same area.
However, DSP Bhattarai said that he could be rescued only by an expert team as he was trapped in a gorge. Bhattarai said that as soon as the weather improves, preparations will be carried out to deploy a team of experts for the rescue operation.
Marek Holecek, 50, from the Czech Republic, who had also gone missing, came into contact himself. Another German citizen, Roward George Newvar, 43, was rescued by the team. Both of them are receiving treatment in Kathmandu.
