The avalanche occurred in the late afternoon after tea time and all those were killed inside their tents. Some porters who were outside their tents managed to survive. They made their way to the nearest village where the French-Israeli expedition team was planning to climb Ratna Chuli, a nearby mountain. The team immediately informed the French embassy in Kathmandu and left their climb due to poor snow conditions. Only one body was found out in initial attempts and later in mid-November, the avalanche searching specialists from France only found two more bodies (a French climber and a Nepalese porter).
