A specialised unit of the Nepalese army (Nepal Army’s High Altitude and Mountain Warfare Training Academy) has been committed to the search for Christiaan for the past few days. At this moment they can finally start!
Tomorrow the weather was nice enough for a chopper to fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara and to continue to Jomsom with a stop inbetween because of the bad weather. In a second attempt Jomson was reached. At the Army school of mountain warfare the unit will now receive a briefing and plans will be made on how the search can be continued. The latest news is that tomorrow they will head into the mountains. People missing in Nepal isn’t unusual, but getting the help of the army is very unusual. Because of this we are very happy with everybody who worked hard to make sure this specialised unit from the army is going to help us in our search.
