The completion of the entire rescue operation is expected on Tuesday, although this is not yet confirmed.

Those who have already been rescued are hiding in a small town called Qudang, which is approximately 30 miles from the base camp on the Tibetan side of Everest.

Hiker Chen Geshuan, who got caught in the snowfall and was rescued, noted: 'It was so wet and cold in the mountains, and hypothermia was a real risk.'

'The weather is abnormal this year. The guide said he has never faced such weather in October. And it happened suddenly.'

Another tourist, Eric Wen, added: 'Every day it kept raining and snowing, and we couldn’t see Everest at all.'

Another eyewitness told the BBC: 'All of us are experienced travelers... But this snowfall proved to be overwhelming. I was lucky to get out.'

The storm that started on Friday night continued through the night and into Saturday, leaving hundreds of tourists at dangerous heights.

Hundreds of locals and rescuers have been engaged in clearing the accumulated snow due to the extreme weather.

Local media initially reported about 1,000 stranded climbers, but Chinese state media confirmed on Monday that 350 people were evacuated, while 200 remain trapped.

Dangerous conditions led to the collapse of tents and cases of hypothermia due to freezing temperatures.

Due to the sudden snowfall, nearly 1,000 trekkers were left in Karma Valley on the eastern side of Everest.

Access to the Everest National Park has been suspended since Saturday due to heavy snowfall.

Reportedly, one person died due to the sudden snowfall in the Chinese province of Qinghai. Local media reported that the climber died from hypothermia and altitude sickness on Sunday in the Laohugu area.

Meanwhile, across the border in Nepal, heavy rains caused landslides and fast-moving waters, leading to chaos, blocking roads and washing away bridges.

This is not the first time brave travelers have gotten trapped on Everest. In 2010, about 2,000 tourists and their porters spent five days in a small village at an altitude of over 9,000 feet due to stormy conditions.

Due to the sudden snowfall, many travelers were left in Karma Valley on the eastern side of Everest.

In rapidly changing weather conditions, rescuing tourists on Everest has become a serious challenge for rescue services and organizations. With further forecasts of bad weather in the coming days, it is important for tourists to feel support and trust in the rescuers. The situation highlights the need for careful preparation and caution when planning trips to such dangerous places as Everest.
