The institution, which specializes in mountain ecosystem research, linked the disaster to glacial activity in the region. The incident draws parallels to a similar tragedy that struck Nepal the previous year. Experts suggest the recurring pattern points to the growing threat posed by melting glaciers and unstable glacial lakes in the Himalayan region.
