| Večina pogrešanih se je udeležila raznoraznih trekingov, ki so v Himalaji vedno bolj priljubljena turistična dejavnost. Po poročanju Nepalske tiskovne agencije ter nepalske planinske zveze smrtno ponesrečeni prihajajo iz Nepala (9), Izraela (4), Kanade (4), Poljske (3), Vietnama (1) in Indije (1). Reševalcem je k sreči uspelo rešiti 19 oseb, ki so jih zasuli plazovi, tri od njih, ki so ostali nepoškodovani so namestili v Muktinathu, ostale pa so odpeljali v nadaljno oskrbo v Jomsom.
Helikopterskim ekipam komercialnih družb Air Manang in Shree Airlines je z območja baznega tabora pod Daulaghirijem uspelo še pravočasno rešiti 8 oseb, ki so bile ujete v območju večih plazov, kar pa žal ne moremo trditi za peterico pogrešanih (2 slovaška alpinista ter tri domačine).
