Approximately one thousand People Stranded on the World's Highest Peak Slopes

Search and rescue missions are in progress on the remote Tibetan side of Mount Everest, where a intense blizzard has stranded close to a thousand climbers in campsites on the east-facing side of the summit.

Several hundred residents and rescue teams have been dispatched to dig out snow blocking entry to the region, which is located at an altitude of more than 4,900 metres.

Several tourists have been evacuated successfully from the dangerous location.

A major snow event began on Friday night and has worsened on the east-facing areas of Everest in Tibet, an location frequented by mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Authorities confirm that tents had collapsed due to the weight of the snow, and a number of hikers were experiencing low body temperature.

Ticket sales and admission to the Mount Everest scenic zone have been suspended from Saturday.

The area is undergoing harsh climate, with nearby the country of Nepal being battered by intense rainfall that have triggered rockfalls and flash floods, sweeping off bridges and claiming the lives of at least 47 individuals in the past 48 hours.

In China, a tropical storm has come ashore, requiring about 150,000 people to leave from their houses.

Mount Everest is the planet's tallest mountain at above 29,032 feet. Even though numerous climbers try to ascend the top annually, it is considered an extremely risky climb.

In the past few years, it has been affected by issues with over-tourism, conservation challenges, and a series of deadly expeditions.
