Village on trekking route is unreachable

Bad weather cut links to a remote village in Nepal where dozens of villagers and trekkers are believed to be buried under an avalanche set off by last month's devastating earthquake, officials said on Tuesday.

The death toll from the April 25 earthquake in the Himalayan nation has reached 7,557, the government said.

About 100 bodies were recovered on Saturday and Sunday at Langtang village, 60 km north of Kathmandu, which is on a trekking route popular with Westerners. The entire village, which includes 55 guesthouses for trekkers, was wiped out by the avalanche and rescuers are digging in the snow for signs of about 120 people believed buried.
