Michael Leu Blumberg, a 20-year-old hiker, vanished on December 30, 2023, while coming down the Mardi Himal trek in Nepal. He is currently being sought after. There is little information on missing trekkers, and this is not the first time someone has disappeared here, making it difficult to keep track of them and guarantee their safety.
There’s a bit of chaos between tourism groups and the local government about fees, making it harder to organize search efforts for missing trekkers. Everyone’s looking for Blumberg separately, but it seems like if they worked together, they might have a better chance of finding him.
There’s a conflict between the tourism groups and the municipality about who should lead the search, but both sides have people searching for Blumberg. ACAP, in charge of the area, is gathering info from checkpoints, and they knew Blumberg was supposed to be back by December 30 but didn’t return, so they’ve been alerted about his disappearance.
