Nepal snow storm survivors: in their own words
Survivors of the snow storms in the Nepal Himalayas which have killed at least 29 foreign trekkers and locals describe their ordeals
I looked around and I saw a Nepalese boy and his face was frozen. There was sheer glass ice hanging on his cheek. I went across to him and I said 'Your face is frozen' and he said 'I know' and he began to cry and we both began to cry. I didn't know whether or not this Nepalese boy was going to survive. The injuries to his face were horrific.
There was a Spanish woman stood next to me who looked as horrified as I did and I looked at her and put my arm on her and said 'Don't worry, we're not going to die, we're going to live today. We're all going to live'. She grabbed me and we all cried together in a huddle on the side of the mountain. (BBC)
Gombu Sherpa, guide
We could hardly see anyone, even within a couple of feet. The wind was blowing snow and visibility was almost zero.
We found him [an assistant guide] the next morning wandering in the snow. It is a miracle that he is alive.
I was personally sure I was going to die. It was like an emergency situation, you know [that] if you go it's dangerous, but if you stay it's dangerous.
I was stuck in snow, then one Nepali guy who knows the way saw me and asked me to stay with him, and he dragged me. (ABC)
We tried not to sleep. We tried not to get hypothermia. It was a very frightening and awful situation. It was a terrible experience.
It seemed that everything was fine. The weather was fine. The trail was not so hard. Until the storm. (NYT)

We couldn’t see the way, we didn’t know the way, and all the night it was snowing.
All the time I thought, ‘I am going to die'.
Eitan (declined last name), 31, trekker
When we were coming down I saw several porters struggling with loads on their backs.
Some of them fainted right in front of me and we could not help. They were cold and there was no one to help.
