Five bodies spotted in search for climbers missing in Indian Himalayas.

NEW DELHI - Five bodies were spotted high on a mountain in the Indian Himalayas on Monday during an aerial search for eight climbers feared swept away in an avalanche last week, a government official said.

Jogdande, said the bodies were above 5,000 metres and the possibility of a second avalanche would make accessing the site difficult. It had not been decided whether a team would go in by air or on foot, he said. Nanda Devi, at 7,816 metres , and its sister mountain, Nanda Devi East, are among the world's most challenging peaks and only a handful of people have climbed them.
