Search – Rescue operation from Mt. Manaslu in November – 2015

The situation was very critical as she was almost near death. In spite of the bad weather condition, Gokyo Treks and Expedition conducted the operation swiftly and didn’t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.

Be that as it may, there is not a helicopter rescue on Everest. The air is simply excessively meager for most helicopters to create sufficient lift to stay airborne. Assuming the helicopter is prepared to arrive at that tallness, making the arrival is as yet an unimaginably fragile undertaking.
