Mount Everest, which experienced below-average snowfall this year, has been receiving more snowfall since Tuesday, bringing relief to climbers and Sherpas who were getting injured from rockfall during acclimatization and while setting up camps and routes.

A drone manufactured by DJI, claimed to be the world’s largest drone currently, is being pilot tested to transfer goods above Everest base camp. Local authorities say that the drone with 30kg carrying capacity may be useful in waste collection at higher camps of Everest.

Nepal has stepped up rescue and retrieval operations in the mountains as dead bodies pile up on crevasses and slopes raising concerns from climbers and environmentalists.

Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality, the local government unit of Everest region, has brought forth a set of environmental regulations to limit the impact of expeditions on the world’s highest peak, but has retracted most of the provisions within weeks amid pressure.
