According to Wangchu Sherpa, Managing Director at Trekking Camp Nepal, two climbers from West Bengal — Paresh Nath and Goutam Ghosh — have gone out of contact since Saturday night.
Other members of the team — Sunita Hazra and Subhash Pal – were, however, rescued by climbing Sherpas to lower camps, he added.
The trekking agency informed that they were out of the GPS tracker. “Sherpas rescued two of them near south summit point while fate of two others is still unknown,” Sherpa said.
According to him, Subhash along with a climbing Sherpa made it to summit while others were reportedly suffering from severe illness with inclement weather that resulted into snow-blindness.
Four climbing Sherpas were also stranded near Camp IV, base camp officials said.
