Bodies of two mountaineers from Bengaluru were recovered from Mount Draupadi Ka Danda-2 peak in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district on Sunday as members of the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering got trapped after being hit by an avalanche recently.
Vikram M. and Rakshit K. were missing after the incident and the Army, ITBP, SDRF, and Air Force teams that were engaged in rescue operations recovered their bodies and identified them, according to Lokesh M.R., vice-president of Karnataka Mountaineering Association.
“The bodies were identified by their relatives who were present in Uttarakhand, and the bodies will reach Bengaluru by tomorrow,” Mr. Lokesh told The Hindu.
