The names of three more Vietnamese trekkers on the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayan mountain range in central Nepal have been revealed by a Vietnamese woman who miraculously survived the fatal avalanche and blizzard that killed more than 30 people on October 14.

In an effort to find other Vietnamese victims (if any) of the disaster, Vo Thi My Linh, who is in Nepal now, said that a member from the Nepal Tourism Board sent her a list of Vietnamese trekkers who had visited the area between late September and early October.

Accordingly, the three Vietnamese are Nguyen Thi Anh Thuy, Lai Ai Cam Phan and Tran Thi Minh Hang.

All of them were born in 1984.

Thuy registered to trek the the Jomson - Muktinath route from October 9, while Hang started to trek from October 5 and Phan began a trip from September 22.

The routes Hang and Phan took remain unknown.

Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper correspondents also contacted Thuy’s family, but they only provided limited information and confirmed that she is one of the trekkers on the list.

The Nepal avalanche and blizzard made headlines in Vietnam as it has been reported that at least one Vietnamese national is among the dead.

Ganga Ram Pant, chief executive officer of the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal, told Tuoi Tre by phone on October 16 that at least three Vietnamese lost their lives in the tragic disaster.

However, a list of dead and injured people that Linh received from the association on October 20 showed there were no Vietnamese victims.

A Tuoi Tre source in Nepal confirmed this.

Linh said she will continue to work with the Nepal Tourism Board to get more information about Vietnamese trekkers around the time of avalanche.

On October 18, Linh took to Facebook to recount how she and other trekkers miraculously survived the fatal avalanche.

The lucky 25-year-old survivor confirmed to Tuoi Tre by telephone the same day that she is “safe and sound.”

She and her friends started the trek on October 6 and encountered a storm on October 14.

She and 19 trekkers survived the ensuing disasters since they decided to stay in a teahouse during the storm, instead  of attempting to go down the mountain like many other trekkers. Linh said she was with a Vietnamese man named Phong who sheltered with her at the teahouse but couldn’t ask about his details because he was very weak after the accident.
