Llewellyn, who works for West Midlands Ambulance Service, said providing training could equip locals against future disasters.
“Unfortunately Nepal is a tectonically active area, so although floods, earthquakes, landslides and glacial collapses don’t happen very often, there is always a chance of it happening again,” he said.
“The focus is now reducing the death toll in future.”
The cause is close to home for Llewellyn, who began travelling to Nepal to climb and trek about 20 years ago.
He formed close friendships with locals and trekkers there, he said, and went back to help in 2015, external when the country was hit by a deadly earthquake.
At the time, he raised more than £8,000 through a charity he set up called Rebuild Nepal, which he said he had now “resurrected”.
“Some of those people [dead and missing] I would know personally, so it is a personal loss,” he said.
