Authorities have stated that there were no signs of violence or injuries on the bodies, and an investigation is underway to determine whether charges of “negligent manslaughter” are warranted. The Indian government is actively working to contact victims' families and facilitate the return of the deceased.

The ski resort of Gudauri, known for its winter sports activities, has a rich history dating back to its role as a trading post along a key historic route.
