Five Russian climbers have died while climbing in Nepal, two days after the team went missing on the world’s seventh-highest mountain, Dhaulagiri. a tourism official said on Tuesday.

Gurung said one of the climbers who abandoned the summit attempt was rescued from the mountain and admitted to a hospital in the capital Kathmandu.
They were part of a 14-member Russian team that was split into two groups for deployment.
Every year, hundreds of people from all over the world travel to the Himalayas for the autumn climbing season in Nepal.
The country is home to eight of the world’s 14 highest peaks, and foreign climbers flocking to the mountains are the country’s main source of income.
The rapid growth of the rock climbing industry has created intense competition for business and concerns that some companies are compromising safety.
As of this fall, Nepal has issued 763 permits for 34 peaks.
Dhaulagiri was first climbed in 1960 by a Swiss-Austrian team and has since been climbed by hundreds of people..
