The number of deaths and disappearances on Mount Everest during this year's spring climbing season has not stopped being made public. Meanwhile, the initial details of a Nepali guide who went missing while returning from climbing Mount Everest were made public on Tuesday.

According to the details received, the missing guide is Dawa Sherpa from Okhaldhunga. He was associated with Himalayan Traverse Adventure Pvt. Ltd. and was deployed on the Everest expedition.

According to the company, he had gone to help a Polish citizen climb Mount Everest.

Dawa Sherpa and the foreign climbers had reached the peak of Mount Everest on Jestha 14. On Friday (Jestha 15), the second day after returning without completing the climb, the police climber informed Himalayan Traverse Adventure Pvt. Ltd. that the Sherpa had gone missing from around the third camp (Camp-3) area. However, detailed information about the incident has not been released. When asked about the disappearance, Dawa Sherpa, the owner of Himalayan Traverse Adventure, refused to provide further details, saying he was in a meeting to search for the guide. The Department of Tourism has also not released any official information about the incident. Seven climbers and guides have died so far in the Everest and Makalu regions during this year's spring mountaineering season. In such a situation, businessmen have said that the news of another Nepali guide going missing has further worried the mountaineering sector. The government had said that it has deployed about 60 liaison officers (civil servants) to monitor mountains above 6,500 meters this season. However, the managing director of a Nepali company involved in the mountaineering sector said that not informing the government mechanism about the incident in time was serious negligence. He said, 'It is sad that the government mechanism has not received clear information even after a week of the disappearance of a climber or guide on Everest. Although the effective presence of liaison officers was expected, the corresponding results have not been seen.'

According to him, the body of an Indian climber has also been stuck on the Hillary Step near the peak of Everest this season. The body of that Indian cannot be brought back this season.

He alleges that the search for the missing Dawa Sherpa has also not been carried out efficiently. Official details about where and under what circumstances he went missing have not been made public yet.

Mountaineering professionals have demanded that the relevant bodies provide accurate information about this incident and clear information about the search campaign to the family.

Even though the Everest climbing season has ended, the department has not made public the information about how many people have climbed Everest so far. The Everest Pollution Control Committee, which is building a road from Everest Base Camp to Camp II, has suspended Everest climbing since Jestha 15.

The committee's base camp manager in Lukla, Tshering Tenzing Sherpa, said on Tuesday that the 'road' built with ropes and ladders for Everest climbing has been removed.
