Chinese trekker found dead in Annapurna
6 Apr 2025 Alpine Asian Treks
A Chinese trekker who had been missing since March 24, 2025, was found dead due to an avalanche on the Annapurna Base Camp trek route near Deurali. The 28-year-old, identified as Mr. Yuan, had been returning after reaching the base camp at 4,110 meters. A search and rescue team discovered his body on April 5 near the Modi River. Mr. Yuan was found in a prone position, still wearing his rucksack. His family has arrived in Nepal to repatriate his remains, which were transferred to Kathmandu’s Teaching Hospital for necessary documentation and procedures.
The avalanche is believed to have originated from slopes near Annapurna South (7,219 meters) and Hiunchuli (6,441 meters) following heavy snowfall in mid-March. Authorities noted that avalanche risks increase significantly during winter and early spring in the region due to unstable snow conditions.
