SINGAPORE \u2013 A woman from Singapore died in Bhutan on May 30 after she reported feeling unwell during a hike.<\/p>\n
She had been on a tour organised by Chan Brothers and was descending from Tiger\u2019s Nest Monastery when she told the accompanying guide that she was feeling unwell, said the travel company in reply to queries on May 30.<\/p>\n
\u201cImmediate assistance, including CPR, was administered on site while emergency arrangements were activated,\u201d Chan Brothers said. She was later taken to Paro Hospital.<\/p>\n
The woman had been part of a tour group that departed on the company\u2019s chartered flight on May 26, and was participating in scheduled activities before the incident, Chan Brothers said.<\/p>\n
The monastery, one of Bhutan\u2019s most sacred Buddhist sites, clings to a granite cliff 900m above Paro Valley, according to Chan Brothers\u2019 website. It sits 3,120m above sea level.<\/p>\n
The travel agency added that it is deeply saddened by the woman\u2019s death. \u201cWe are in contact with her travelling companion and family members, and are extending full support during this difficult time. Relevant authorities, including the Singapore Embassy, have been informed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Investigations and a post-mortem examination are ongoing, Chan Brothers said, adding that it was unable to comment further.<\/p>\n
The Straits Times has contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
