A 27-year-old British tourist tragically died after falling during a trek in the Dhauladhar mountains near the Himalayas. The hiker, unaware of the local ban on high-altitude trekking in winter, slipped while descending a route prohibited during this season due to treacherous conditions. Despite immediate rescue efforts, the hiker succumbed to his injuries. Authorities emphasize the risks of trekking above 3,000 meters in winter because of severe weather and heavy snowfall.
