Sunday, June 7Sunday, June 7A Nepalese mountain guide who vanished for six days on Mount Everest has been found alive near the South Col, surviving on melted ice and a cache of sweets. Hillary Dawa Sherpa, 34, was presumed dead by his family, who had already begun a mourning ceremony in their village near Namche Bazaar. On Sunday, 7 June 2026, he staggered into camp, gaunt but conscious, after spending six nights exposed at 7,950 metres on the world’s highest peak.
Rescuers from the Nepal Mountaineering Association confirmed the recovery at 11:42 a.m. local time. “He was hypothermic, dehydrated, and barely able to speak,” said Nima Tenzing Sherpa, a liaison officer at Everest Base Camp . “He had rationed three chocolate bars and a handful of boiled sweets, melting ice with his body heat.” The Nepal Army’s helicopter 007 airlifted him to Kathmandu’s CIWEC Hospital, where doctors reported “miraculous” signs of recovery.
Dawa Sherpa had been guiding a four-member South Korean team on 1 June when a sudden storm separated him from the group near the Balcony. His clients reached Camp 4 safely, but radio contact with Dawa was lost at 14:17. A week-long search involving 22 Sherpas and two helicopters was called off on 5 June after temperatures dropped to –35 °C and winds exceeded 80 km/h. “We thought he was gone,” said his brother, Pemba Tenzing, in Lukla. “The village was preparing his cremation.”
The episode underscores the persistent dangers on Everest, where 11 climbers died in May 2026 alone. Dawa’s survival—despite no supplementary oxygen and minimal calories—has prompted calls for better emergency protocols above 8,000 metres. “We need a dedicated high-altitude rescue team with real-time thermal imaging,” said Ang Tshering Sherpa, former president of the Nepal Mountaineering Association . The government has pledged to review the incident within 30 days.
Dawa, who has summitted Everest seven times, is expected to make a full recovery. His clients have flown home, while he remains in Kathmandu under observation. “I kept thinking of my children,” he told reporters, voice still hoarse. “I knew I had to make it back.”
