Kathmandu, Aug 18 (PTI) Three Indian tourists and their Nepali guide were rescued safely on Sunday from Nepal’s Nagarkot forest, nearly 10 hours after they went missing, according to the police.<\/p>\n
The tourists – identified as Nitin Tiwari, Rashmi Tiwari and Tanish Tiwari – and their Nepali guide Hari Prasad Kharel had gone missing from the Muhan Pokhari Rani Jhula area in the Nagarkot forest of Bhaktapur district, 30 km East of Kathmandu.<\/p>\n
The Indian nationals were between the ages of 30 and 40 years, according to the police.<\/p>\n
The missing people had lost the way at around 3 pm on Saturday, and the rescue team reached the site at midnight, said Shyam Krishna Shrestha, chairman of Ward No. 7 Changunarayan.<\/p>\n
They had gone missing as they could not locate the way to the Rani Jhula area and mistakenly moved towards the nearby forest area, police said.<\/p>\n
They were found in the Halhale Khowpa area and were suffering from leech bites, according to the Mayor of Changunarayan, Jivan Khatri.<\/p>\n
A coordinated rescue operation by a team of the Armed Police Force, people’s representatives and residents started soon after the news about their disappearance spread.<\/p>\n
The rescued individuals safely returned to Kathmandu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
