Several Australians have been rescued in Nepal's deadly snowstorm but there are no reports of casualties so far, the Department of Foreign Affairs says.
At least 39 people are reported to have died since Tuesday's avalanches and about 400 trekkers have been rescued from the Annapurna circuit in central Nepal and the mountains of the western district of Dolpa.
Local authorities say nearly all the trekkers missing in the blizzard have been rescued.
A number of Australians have been rescued, a spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said.
However for privacy reasons the department says it can not provide further details.
"Nepalese authorities continue to advise there are no reports of Australian casualties, so far," the spokesperson said.
DFAT advises those concerned for the welfare of family and friends in Nepal should first try to directly contact them or their tour company.
