Five Russian Climbers Die on Nepal's Mount Dhaulagiri

The climbers fell to their deaths on the seventh-highest peak after losing radio contact with their base camp.

The bodies of five Russian mountaineers were discovered at an altitude of approximately 7,600 meters on Mount Dhaulagiri.
The climbers were part of an expedition during Nepal's autumn climbing season, which is less crowded and has lower permit fees.
Radio contact with the climbers was lost on Sunday, and a rescue helicopter spotted their bodies on Tuesday.
Two of the climbers had reached the summit before the accident, while others turned back without reaching the top.
A sixth team member, who did not make the summit attempt, was rescued and is currently hospitalized in Kathmandu.
