Budapest: The Indian Embassy in Budapest has thanked the Indian Army for rescuing a Hungarian national who lost his way amid trekking in the Himalayas.

Thanking the Indian Army, the Indian Embassy in Hungary tweeted: "Embassy of India, Budapest thanks the Indian army and entire team involved in the Operation Search and Rescue-Operation Bhuzas-Umasi La. Matter of pride and perseverance @MEAIndia @PIB_India@DrSJaishankar@IndianDiplomacy@iccr_hq."

The Hungarian was rescued after the Army conducted a 30-hour-long operation.
