He was rescued after approaching a group of hikers on Wednesday afternoon, claiming he was lost and thirsty, according to Police Insp Josh Broadfoot. Nazari had covered more than six miles across steep and densely forested terrain from the last known location where he was seen.
A significant land and air search operation had been initiated after Nazari's disappearance. Over 300 searchers were taking part.
He was reunited with his two hiking companions on Wednesday before being flown to hospital for a medical examination, Broadfoot said.
Nazari had been "walking from morning until night," Broadfoot stated.
"He appears to be fine," Broadfoot told reporters.
It's the 14th day now that we've been searching for him. It's truly astounding to see him emerge having had such a positive experience, physically in such great shape, and in high spirits.
"There are some streams up there and he told me he's been finding water where he can and foraging for food where he can, as far as berries go. At one point, he said he came across a couple of muesli bars in a hut, but apart from that – 14 days and that's a very limited amount of food," Broadfoot said.
Nazari only needed treatment for dehydration.
The national park is situated around Mount Kosciuszko, which stands as the highest point in Australia. Although Australia is known for being a relatively flat country, Mount Kosciuszko still reaches an elevation of 2,228 metres (7,310 feet) above sea level.
The weather conditions are pleasant at the moment during the current summer season in the Southern Hemisphere.
Searchers had been hopeful that Nazari would be found alive. He was an experienced hiker, equipped with a portable dwelling unit, also known as a tent. Searchers had discovered his campfire, camera and walking poles in recent days, which indicated that he was still walking.
