At least one hiker died as rescuers raced against time to evacuate more than 200 others stranded at Mount Everest’s eastern face after being trapped by a heavy snowstorm during China's most popular holiday weekend.
Some 350 others have been rescued and escorted to the small town of Qudang, located about 48km from the base camp on Everest’s Tibetan side, the Chinese authorities who control the Tibetan Autonomous Region said.
