Five Missing Trekkers from Thamsar Pass Found Safe in Rajasthan

Earlier this week, five trekkers went missing while hiking near Thamsar Pass in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. Local search teams, aided by helicopter support, began a coordinated search operation after the group failed to return to their base camp. The trekkers were found in a remote area of the pass, physically unharmed but exhausted from the harsh terrain.
The rescue operation was led by the Rajasthan Police’s Special Operations Unit, with assistance from the Indian Army’s 7th Battalion. All five trekkers were brought to a nearby medical facility for a brief check-up before being reunited with their families.
The incident highlighted the challenging conditions of trekking in the Thar Desert, where sudden weather changes and difficult terrain can pose risks to hikers. Authorities urged trekkers to follow safety guidelines and carry adequate supplies when venturing into remote passes.
A spokesperson for the Rajasthan Tourism Department expressed relief at the safe return of the group and emphasized the importance of proper preparation for trekking expeditions in the region.
