Further information on missing trekker
Amit Reichman, 42, went missing while trekking alone on the Hardi Himal Trek October 16, 2016.
Amit left The Fishtail Guest House alone with a small day pack on the morning of October 16, 2016. He left most of his luggage at the guesthouse. It is not known if he was planning for West Base Camp or South Base Camp.
According to Nepal Tourism Board, Reichman began that trek on October 14. On October 15 apparently he slept in middle camp and continued in the morning of October 16, reached high camp, left behind a small bag of clothes in the Fish Tail guesthouse and apparently continued toward the base camp. It is unknown if he walked to the south base camp or to the west base camp.
NTB adds, since then, we don’t know anything about him. Someone said that two Germans told that they saw him on the path in October 16. We are looking for the Germans and other travelers on their way to base camp and may have a guide or porter saw it.
He had a gray backpack and a blue jacket

During my trek to Mardi Himal, the hotel owner shared a story about someone who went missing, and even the Israeli embassy made efforts to find him but to no avail. It’s a reminder never to take the mountains for granted.
