A British tourist tragically died after suffering serious rib injuries while trekking in the Dhauladhar mountain range, northern India. He was hiking with another tourist when the incident occurred. The Himachal Pradesh state disaster response force was alerted and sent a team to rescue the injured men. After several hours of navigating difficult terrain, they located the victims but found one in critical condition. Sadly, the injured man was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. The British Foreign Office is currently in touch with local authorities to support the victim's family.
The team began their trek from Thathri Power Project and, upon reaching Dritto cafe, was informed that the victims were located 4km further uphill in extremely difficult terrain.
After four hours of trekking, the team located the victims at 10.30pm with one trekker in a critical condition. They secured the critical trekker on to a stretcher and began the challenging descent along with his co-trekker.
We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in India and are in contact with the local authorities.
The man is understood to have sustained rib injuries and was pronounced dead when he arrived at hospital on Monday.
