Two Korean climbers have gone missing in the Himalayas.

After successfully reaching the peak of Manaslu Mountain on Friday, captain Kim Hong-bin and five team members began to head back down the mountain when the weather worsened.

Climbers Yun Chi-won and Park Haeng-su went missing. The other four, including Kim, made it off the mountain after sustaining injuries.

The South Korean Embassy in Nepal received the news of the accident Monday morning, local time, and sent a consul to a nearby hospital where the injured climbers were being treated.

Manaslu, at eight-thousand-163 meters, is the world's eighth highest peak and is located in the middle of the Himalayas in Nepal.

Kim's team had also planned to climb Annapurna before returning home late next month.
