Two Climbers Rescued After Three Days Stranded in Indian Himalayas

Fay Manners and Michelle Dvorak were airlifted to safety following a challenging rescue operation involving international collaboration.

The climbers, from the UK and the US, were stranded on Chaukhamba III peak after a rockfall severed their rope, causing them to lose essential supplies.
An emergency message was sent, but initial rescue efforts were hampered by poor weather and challenging terrain.
The Indian Air Force, alongside local disaster response teams, conducted an 80-hour operation to locate and rescue the climbers.
A French mountaineering team on a nearby expedition provided crucial assistance by locating the climbers and sharing coordinates with rescuers.
The climbers were found at an altitude of 5,300 meters and were airlifted to safety, reportedly in good health despite the ordeal.
