Search and Rescue teams have recovered the bodies of two Chinese tourists who went missing in Khuvsgul Province, a famous tourist destination in the north of Mongolia. The bodies were washed down following torrential rains in Ulaan-Uul soum of the province on 23 July.

The 25-year-old man with a 28-year-old woman have been missing after they went mountain climbing on 18 October, 2018. The Chinese citizens said they would stay on the mountain for three days. However, on 25 October, when they failed to return, the Mongolian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) was alerted and formed a rescue team of 32 people including locals to look for them. However, the rescue team was not able to find them.

Previously, NEMA had established a temporary base 45 km from Khatgal village in Khuvsgul Province and has expanded the search operation for the two Chinese tourists.
