Blizzard Strands Nearly 1,000 on Tibetan Side of Mount Everest


A powerful blizzard has left close to 1,000 climbers, trekkers, and tourists stranded on the Tibetan side of Mount Everest, according to Chinese state media. The storm, which began late Friday and continued through Saturday, dumped heavy snow across the eastern slope of the mountain, blocking access roads and cutting off high-altitude camps above 4,900 meters.

Rescue operations are underway, with hundreds of local villagers and emergency teams deployed to clear snow and reopen routes. Some tourists have already been evacuated, though officials warn that ongoing severe weather continues to pose risks. Authorities have suspended ticket sales and closed entry to the Everest Scenic Area until conditions improve.

The crisis highlights the dangers of sudden Himalayan weather shifts. Just across the border in Nepal, torrential rains triggered landslides and flash floods that have killed at least 47 people since Friday, underscoring the region’s vulnerability to extreme climate events.

For now, rescuers remain focused on reaching those still trapped on the mountain, as the storm continues to test both human endurance and the limits of emergency response in one of the world’s harshest environments.
