Heavy snowfall disrupts mountain expeditions

The avalanche comes as Nepal is dealing with severe weather in several parts of the country. Heavy rainfall since Thursday has washed away roads and triggered landslides.

Snowfall has also affected other popular climbing destinations. On Manaslu, heavy snow this week forced climbers to call off expeditions, while treks to the Dhaulagiri mountain range were also paused.

Nepal's autumn climbing season

Nepal is home to eight of the world's 14 highest peaks, with foreign climbers contributing significantly to the country's largely rural economy.

The country has issued more than 500 permits for the autumn climbing season, with Manaslu, the world's eighth-highest mountain, accounting for most of them.

The latest incident comes as Nepal is already reeling from a devastating, tsunami-like flood on August 26 that killed more than 1,400 people and left over 6,000 missing.
