NMIA Team Traces Two Bodies From Paldor
 

A strong team of Nepal Mountain Instructor’s Association (NMIA) and Nepal National Mountain Guide Association (NNMGA) has traced the bodies of two French Mountaineers from the slopes of Ganesh Himal (Paldor). Four French mountaineers went missing when an expedition to Ganesh Himal (Paldor) was hit by an avalance on October 2006.

  

The search operation found 2 bodies near the Sanjung Glacier (4900m) at the feet of Ganesh Himal. Similarly, some parts of the body were found on the surface of the big avalanche debris. They probably feel down 1,000m from the slopes of Ganesh Himal to the Sanjung Glacier. Upon the request of the family members, the recovered bodies and parts were cremated under a Chhorten with a plate bearing the name of the deceased. The four mountaineers have been identified as Jean-Baptiste Moreau (31), Raphael Perrissin (31), Vincent Villedieu (33) and Stefan Cieslar (37).

NMIA had launched the search operation as per the request of the family members of the missing mountaineers. An eight member search team led by Lakpa Norbu Sherpa had searched the area from 23rd of June to 10th of July. Other members of the search expedition were: Lakpa Sherpa, Jymchang Bhote, Lambabu Sherpa, Dorjee Lama, Pemba Gyalze Sherpa and Keshav Gurung.
