Two Italian nationals, who went missing at Mt. Pangbari  in Chumanubri-1, Gorkha, have been found dead after five days.

Stefano Farinato (67) and Alessandro Gaputo (37) were found dead at the first camp of Pangbari Himal on Tuesday, according to the District Police Office, Gorkha.

DSP Rajkumar Shrestha, Information Officer at the District Police Office, Gorkha, said that they were found buried under the snow.

Shrestha said that the bodies have been brought to Samagaun by a helicopter.

They were stranded after the snow blocked the way while returning after failing to climb the mountain.

Velter Perlino (65), who was trapped at the base camp of Pangbari Mountain, at an altitude of 5,000 meters, was rescued by a helicopter at 10 am on Sunday.

Along with Perlino, Pemba Renji Sherpa, Dawa Chiri Sherpa, and Pasang Tamang, were also rescued and sent to Kathmandu for treatment.
