The climbers used a pager on Thursday to alert that they were stranded, stating their essential equipment had fallen into a ravine due to a rock fall.
At nearly 20,000 feet, the air is thin, making long-term survival impossible, which intensified the urgency of the rescue effort by Indian authorities.
Despite bad weather and extreme conditions, a coordinated rescue effort involved both the Indian Air Force and a French climbing team already on the mountain.
After multiple failed attempts, the climbers were ultimately rescued thanks to the shared coordinates from the French team, illustrating collaboration in mountaineering rescues.
