A Note from Seven Summit Treks on our commitment to assisting rescue mission!!!
We are deeply proud of the mountaineers from our community who worked on the frontline during the recent disaster in the upper Bhotekoshi and Trishuli region.
Mountaineers undergo years of rigorous training in rope work, navigation, and moving people to safety under difficult and unpredictable conditions. This preparation, both physical and mental, allows them to operate effectively in complex and high-risk environments. In the face of this disaster, many applied those same skills to search, locate, and support rescue efforts.
Seven Summit Treks stands ready to assist government-led rescue and recovery operations with our team of qualified guides and mountaineers whenever called upon. The recent deployment of professionals by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) and the Nepal National Mountain Guide Association (NNMGA) has shown the value of skilled mountain workers in such situations.
One of our senior guides, Jenjen Lama, who took part in tunnel mission, shared:
“We were assigned by Chilime Hydropower to search for six people trapped in the tunnel. Using a fixed-line system with anchors, we progressed about 120 meters, but found no signs of life. Looking further, we saw that the tunnel was completely blocked by mud and debris, and we had to turn back from that point. Other fellow guides were dispatched to the Trishuli A tunnel and were able to carry out a successful rescue.”
We are grateful to have been able to support the response in any way possible. Seven Summit Treks remains committed to providing qualified human support whenever it is needed.
We continue to pray for all those who lost their lives and hold hope for the missing.
