Gorkha, April 7
A 61-year-old British national, identified as Thomson Ayan, has died while crossing the Larke Pass in the Manaslu region.
According to DSP Indra Prasad Subedi of the Gorkha District Police Office, the incident occurred around 10 AM on Sunday in Chumnubri Rural Municipality-1, where the trekker collapsed suddenly and died on the spot.
Efforts were underway to deploy a police team to the site via helicopter, but poor weather conditions delayed the operation. Once weather improves, the police plan to reach the location and begin an investigation.
Local residents said it takes more than three hours on foot to reach the site from Dharamshala, the last settlement before the pass.
