We have been hearing about avalanches and deaths while climbing mountains. Many local and foreign climbers have lost their lives in Nepal from time to time while climbing and descending mountains.

Hundreds of foreign climbers come to Nepal every year to climb Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, from small snow peaks. Generally, mountain climbing is understood as easy, but in reality it is a very difficult, risky and complex journey. It is even more risky for novice mountaineers.

Of the 14 mountains in the world that are higher than 8,000 meters, Annapurna I is the first mountain to be climbed by humans. The mountain was climbed by 31-year-old Frenchman Maurice Arjog on June 3, 1950, or on June 19, 2007. The height of the mountain is 8,091 meters.

Three years after setting foot on Annapurna, Nepali citizen Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and New Zealander Edmund Hillary set foot on Mount Everest for the first time on May 29, 1953. Therefore, the Annapurna region is considered to have the oldest climbing history. The climbing accident that took the lives of 11 people in the Annapurna region in Manang in the 1950s was the biggest incident in Nepal at that time. The accident occurred while climbing and descending the Pisang Himal, a 6,091-meter peak in the Annapurna region. At that time, 11 Nepalese and foreign people died at once. At that time, it was the first incident in which the largest number of climbers lost their lives in Nepal. Therefore, the incident that occurred on Kartik 27, 2051 was called the biggest climbing accident. After that, there have been many incidents in which many climbers lost their lives at once. But 31 years ago, it was considered the first time that a very big incident had happened in the Annapurna region. The team, including Sardar Cyangwa Sherpa and German mountain guide Stefan Hasenkopf, died in an avalanche while returning from climbing Pisang Himal. The incident claimed the lives of 11 people, including a German, a Swiss and a Nepali. According to the organizer of the climbing expedition, International Trekkers, a team of climbing experts returning from Manang saw bodies and belongings at an altitude of 5,200 meters from a helicopter. The accident site was discovered by a helicopter only on the fourth day after the accident due to weather conditions. According to the information given by the organizer through a press conference, it was estimated that all the members of the tour group slipped on the road after a sudden avalanche pushed the last person during the climb. It was also given in the press conference that nine people, except for the chief and the mountain guide, were tied to three ropes and descended in a row. The climbers were supposed to reach the base camp by the morning of Kartik 28. But when they did not arrive on time, the camp workers panicked and informed the police headquarters from a nearby place called Dungre.

The rescue operation could not be carried out on the 29th due to the mid-term elections being held across the country. A rescue attempt was made only on the 30th by sending a helicopter. Narahari Bhandari of International Trekkers had informed that it took three days to fly the helicopter and locate the incident site due to clouds. German experts of the rescue team had said that the rescue had encountered problems due to the weather.

The DIAV Summit Club of Germany had assembled the climbing team in Europe and sent it to Nepal. Therefore, it was informed that it would bear the rescue expenses itself. The club's mountain guide Stefan was an army lieutenant and an experienced guide. He was sent as a skilled and fit person for the Lamjung Annapurna trek, which is considered very remote.
