A DAYLESFORD family listed as missing in earthquake ravaged Nepal may have been located.
The company which organised the Comber family's holiday believe the family is safe in the Tsum Valley.
Jen and Francis Comber and their daughters Rani and Neve were planning to trek for three weeks in the valley, which was near the epicentre of the 7.9 magnitude earthquake.
"We've had contact with the trekking company and they seem to be trying to communicate that they had been located," Ms Comber's brother Jeff Brownscombe told ABC Radio on Monday.
"It's unconfirmed at this stage, it was very broken and limited conversation."
A Ballarat man who has travelled to Nepal more than 20 times in the last 15 years said it would become harder for people to make contact with home as the days go on.
"The difficulty is communication. Most of Nepal seems to not have a lot of electricity in any case, and this has knocked out a lot of infrastructure," said Graeme Kent, whose charity Aussie Action Abroad builds schools and runs health program in Nepal.
He said in the first 48 hours following the earthquake many people still had working mobile phones, but it would be tough to keep them charged now.
"Roads are cut (between many villages), so we're not sure what the access is like either," he said.
