Five Trekkers Missing in Himachal Amid Heavy Snowfall on Thamsar Pass
Five trekkers from Rajasthan, aged 28 to 35, have been missing for over 24 hours in Himachal Pradesh's Dhauladhar Range while attempting to cross the challenging Thamsar Pass amid heavy snowfall. They began their trek from Bir on October 5, aiming to reach Bharmour via Bara Bhangal. Search operations are underway, coordinated by Baijnath and Bharmour administrations, but poor weather, rugged terrain, and communication difficulties are hampering efforts. Officials noted the trekkers had not informed authorities of their plans.
