KATHMANDU: Rescuers say the body of a Spanish trekker and two Nepalese guides have been recovered from a landslide and flown to the Nepalese capital while 15 more are getting treated at a hospital in Kathmandu.
Tshering Lama, who is coordinating the rescue, said the body of one of the Nepalese trekkers appeared to have been washed away by a river while it was being recovered and attempts are being made to find it.
The bodies were flown Friday and being kept at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital morgue.
The group was trekking near Mount Manaslu when a landslide swept them Thursday near Kerauja village, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) northwest of Kathmandu, the capital.
The identities of the victims were not immediately released.RSS
