Climbers rescued after being stranded in Himalayas for three days

A British mountaineer and her American companion who had been stranded in the Himalayas for three days without food have been rescued. Fay Manners and Michelle Dvorak were trekking up Chaukhamba mountain in India when rockfall cut the rope holding their equipment. Ms Dvorak says they had to eat snow which "wasn't very pleasant". The pair sent a distress signal down to base camp and authorities were eventually able to airlift them out of harm. They say it took so long to be rescued due to visibility issues because it was "too snowy" for the helicopter to fly. Despite the haunting experience, they told Sky's Kay Burley they would "reconsider" climbing the mountain again next year. #himalayas #climbers #mountains SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
