Dear all,
Astrid was found on Monday, December 1st, 2025. She fell from a cliff and did not survive.
We at SARDOGS Nepal were ready to search for her with our Search & Rescue Dogs, but it was too late. We were in close contact with her friend from Germany and all of us hoped that she was still alive.
After receiving the message that a group of locals found her, we had to inform her friend. However, it was the duty of the German Embassy to inform the family.
We share in the grief and sadness of her friends and her family. We did not know her personally, but during our search preparations, we learned about her friendliness, her enthusiasm for the beauty of Nepal, and how much she enjoyed her journey.
We must thank the locals who checked the old, dangerous path from Dobato to Khopra Danda. We also thank the German Embassy for their professional work, the team of police officers, and all others who were involved in this search mission.
May Astrid rest in peace.
SARDOGS Nepal Team and members of Rettungshunde für Nepal e.V.
