The body of a third trekker from a group of eight who went missing six days ago on the Kedartal route in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district was recovered on Wednesday, officials said.
The third person found is a man, officials added, without immediately identifying him.
Three bodies recovered from Kedartal so far were flown to Matli, about 100 km away, by helicopter, and were then being taken to the district hospital in Uttarkashi, roughly 10 km from Matli, in hearse vans, officials said.
Families of the missing trekkers, including five from West Bengal and two from Uttar Pradesh, began arriving in Uttarkashi as the search continued, officials said.
The latest recovery comes a day after the bodies of two trekkers, a man and a woman, were found buried in an avalanche at the nearby Kedarkhadak area, taking the confirmed toll to three out of the eight-member group that went missing on the trek.
The Pioneer had earlier reported that two bodies were recovered from the same search operation; search teams are continuing efforts to locate the remaining five trekkers and the guide.
