The bodies of nine climbers who died on a Himalayan peak in western Nepal after their camp was devastated by a severe storm were taken back to Kathmandu on Sunday.
A five-member South Korean expedition team and four Nepali guides went missing at the base camp of Mount Gurja, located at 3,500 meters (11,483 feet), when a snowstorm struck and killed all of them, reports Efe news.
A helicopter began retrieving the victims' corpses on Sunday after strong winds halted rescue operations the day before.
