The officials said that they had been told that those missing include climbers from Britain, the United States, Australia and India. The rescue effort began on Saturday when the climbers failed to return to base camp. The climbers went missing on the Indian side of the Himalayas near the end of a climbing season that has been particularly deadly this year. At least nine people have died on the Nepalese side of Mount Everest so far this year, the deadliest climbing season on the peak since 2015. It says that the Nanda Devi team had reached their second base camp at 4,870 meters, their home for the next week.
