Police have located the body of a tramper in Nelson Lakes National Park.
A search and rescue operation was launched yesterday after the man failed to return from a solo tramping trip on Friday, as planned.
His body was located about 9.30am today in the Mt Robert Range area and is due to be airlifted out shortly.
