Simrik Air Pvt. Ltd company has informed the Bulgarian Embassy in Beijing that three fully equipped helicopters departed from Kathmandu Airport to join the search for Bulgarian mountaineer Boyan Petrov who has been missing for days in the Himalayas.
Currently, the helicopters are at the base camp under Shishapangma peak and are waiting for the wind to ease before flying at the planned altitude. The teams of the helicopters consist of experienced pilots and mountaineers, including people who know the area near Shishapangma peak in details.
Stormy winds have brought to a halt the air rescue operation in search of climber Boyan Petrov. The three helicopters are not able to continue the search above 5000 m due to stormy winds.
