Survivors say many perished trying to descend in freezing whiteout conditions. Nevertheless Nepal's trekking industry, is back open for business. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF THE TREKKING AGENCIES ASSOCIATION OF NEPAL, KESHAV PANDEY SAYING: "I don't think people will really stop trekking or people will say, 'Ok, well I don't go any more,' because I still have already, we are issuing already permits, people wanted to go around Annapurna base camp or any other trekking. They are smoothly going everyday." Every year, thousands of tourists set out on treks in Nepal. Some are not deterred by the latest tragedy. (SOUNDBITE) (English) AN ISRAELI TOURIST PLANNING TO GO TREKKING DESPITE THE RECENT ACCIDENT, AVI (NO SURNAME GIVEN) SAYING: "People are still attracted to trekking in Nepal.
