Indian-Origin Climber Dhrubajyoti Guha Killed in Manaslu Avalanche

Dhrubajyoti Guha was a 47-year-old climber of Indian origin who lived near Frankfurt, Germany.

He was climbing Mount Manaslu in Nepal with his guide, Fursemba Sherpa.

The mountain’s weather became dangerous as the group climbed higher.

Six other climbers decided to go back to a lower camp.

Guha and Sherpa continued to Camp 3 to try an early climb toward the summit.

During the night, an avalanche buried their tent under snow.

Rescuers found them after they stopped answering calls.

More snow and danger made it too risky to bring their bodies down.

Guha had worked for several major companies and completed many long-distance mountain races.

Sherpa was an experienced guide who had climbed Mount Everest nine times.
