Snowstorm In Himalayas Kills At Least 9

At least nine Indian trekkers have died in the Himalayas after getting trapped during a blizzard, authorities reported on Thursday.

Rescue teams have airlifted the bodies of the deceased along with five survivors to safety.

The Indian Air Force shared footage Thursday of the rescue in the snow-covered mountains:

The group of climbers encountered heavy snowfall in the remote mountains of Uttarakhand, said Krishna Byre Gowda, a Karnataka minister.

"Snow intensified into a blizzard. By 6 PM, two trekkers had succumbed to the harsh weather. Snow and wind made movement impossible. Visibility dropped to zero. They huddled together for the night on the route. Some more succumbed during the night," Gowda wrote on X.

A guide with the group managed to find mobile network connectivity and alerted rescuers on Tuesday evening.

Rescue teams reached the location early on Wednesday, the minister added — too late for the majority.
