KATHMANDU (AFP): A Malaysian man was stranded in Nepal near the summit of Mount Annapurna, expedition organisers said, after the climber was separated from other trekkers while descending the treacherous peak.

The 48-year-old summited the 8,100m (26,500ft) Himalayan mountain on Tuesday (April 23) with at least 31 others but failed to return to the nearest camp, a kilometre below the peak.
