Himalayas avalanche sweeps away climbers in Nepal
At least nine climbers are feared dead and six more are missing in Nepal after an avalanche swept away Europeans and others on a Himalayan peak.
Officials confirmed two bodies had been recovered while a further seven were spotted on the slopes of Mount Manaslu in the north of the country.
The avalanche struck on Saturday evening as the party approached the summit, police said.
The two bodies recovered are said to be of a German and a Nepalese guide.
