Thomas Levy Plotkin has been missing since Sept. 22, when fellow hikers say he twisted his ankle and tumbled from a 490-foot (150-meter) ridge into the surging Gori River.
He had been trekking the 37-mile (60-kilometer) Johar trail in the northern state of Uttarakhand while in India on a semester program with the Wyoming-based National Outdoor Leadership Program.
Local magistrate J.S. Rathore said Thursday that the search would continue “for a few more days,” though hope of finding the 20-year-old alive was fading.
The program said it presumed “Thomas has not survived.”
