The Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) has issued a safety advisory urging all climbers and trekkers to avoid traveling to high Himalayan regions and crossing mountain passes due to heavy snowfall reported across Nepal’s northern mountain belts.
A fresh spell of snowfall has blanketed Nepal’s western Himalayan region, including the popular Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) and Manaslu Circuit trekking routes, following the influence of a low-pressure system developed over the Arabian Sea.
