HUMAN remains found in the Nepalese mountains are suspected of being that of a 23-year-old WA man who has been missing for six months.

Matt Allpress has been missing in the Annapurna region since November after he failed to arrive in Sydney following a solo 10-day trek in Nepal.

A Facebook page set-up by Mr Allpress' family and friends said today that two local Nepalese people foraging in the mountains above Sikles, about one hour off the main track, found human remains on Saturday.

The next day, authorities went to the site and reported finding personal equipment belonging to Mr Allpress, the page said.

Police remained at the site today, gathering information but the remains have yet to be formally identified.

The Facebook page said Mr Allpress' mother was in Nepal and his father would arrive later on Monday.

"Matt's family and close friends ask for respect at this difficult time," the Find Matt page read.

A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokeswoman said Australian officials in Canberra and Kathmandu were continuing to provide consular assistance to the Allpress family.

Mr Allpress' friends and family had remained optimistic of finding him alive, creating a social media campaign to help locate him.

Almost $10,000 was raised in December to help continue to fund the expensive aerial and land search.
