🏔️ Hundreds of #trekkers escape from #blizzard-struck #Everest in Tibet • FRANCE 24 English

❄️ Hundreds of trekkers stranded by a blizzard near the eastern face of Mount Everest in Tibet have been guided to safety by #rescuers, Chinese state media reported, as unusually heavy snow and rainfall pummelled the Himalayas.

🇨🇳 Outdoor enthusiasts have flocked to China's rugged interior since an eight-day holiday began on October 1, but a sudden blizzard over the weekend caught off guard hundreds of hikers hoping to catch a glimpse of Everest's Kangshung face.

⛑️ Some 350 trekkers have reached the small town of Qudang, while more than 200 trekkers still stranded in #freezing temperatures are expected to be evacuated by Tuesday.
