Rescuers search for eight climbers on Indian peak 0 SHARES Share it! Four Britons, two Americans, an Australian and an Indian were set to climb the 7,826-metre (25,643-foot) Nanda Devi East peak — near the border with China — and return to the base camp last weekend. A porter stationed at the base camp in the northern Himalayan state of Uttarakhand said the climbers failed to return on May 26, prompting the search. Teams are trekking to the base camp to trace the missing climbers and there was little information about their plans, he added. Four Indians were among 11 climbers that died climbing Mount Everest in the latest season that ended this week.
