As of October 7, 2025, nearly 1,000 hikers and over 300 guides were trapped on Mount Everest's eastern Tibetan slopes after a severe blizzard began Friday. About 580 trekkers and guides have since been rescued to Qudang township, while over 200 remain stranded but in contact with rescuers. The storm caused hypothermia and collapsed tents.
