The family of Dawa Wangchu, the Sherpa from
Darjeeling who has gone missing in
Kanchenjunga along with Everester Chanda
Gayen, started performing the last rites.
Even though there was no official confirmation
on the whereabouts of the climbers — the third
climber is Mingma Temba from Nepal who is
Wangchu’s cousin — the family of the Darjeeling-
based Sherpa said they had lost hope of the
search leading to any success.
Dawa Wangchu had married just five months
back.
