The US-based trekking company’s founder, Sagar Pandey, is also the president for trekking agencies in Nepal, and had flown over the affected area in a helicopter but was unable to land.
Among the 15 Australians missing are two teenage boys, he said.
Most of the group were staying in the Rasuwagadhi area hit by the flood, with several travelling into the town, he said.
Seven Nepali guides are among those in the missing group.
