Two years ago, my friend went missing on Mardi Himal in November. Unfortunately, this location has gained a notorious reputation, with incidents of people going missing every year. The rescue search conducted by the insurance team was notably unprofessional, despite the local community’s earnest efforts to assist in every way possible..
You are right Mart. It is a dangerous region. People should be forbidden to go alone. My daughter went missing in the same region since February 2018.
