(CNN) The bodies of seven climbers who went missing in the Indian Himalayas late last month were recovered by rescue teams on Sunday, according to a tweet from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police.

Eight climbers -- four Britons, two Americans, an Australian and their Indian liaison officer -- went missing near Nanda Devi East, one of the highest peaks in India, on May 26. It's believed they were struck by an avalanche.

The search for the eighth climber will resume Monday, the ITBP said.

According to Facebook posts from the group's expedition company, the climbers were attempting to scale a previously unclimbed and unnamed peak.

Indian authorities previously said the group did not have permission to do so. Even if the climbers had asked, Pithoragarh District Magistrate Vijay Kumar Jogdande told CNN, authorities "would not have given permission."
