The rescue operation has been ongoing since Monday and has rescued hundreds of hikers after a severe snowstorm suddenly made the retreat to the base camp impossible. The hikers were then stuck on the mountain in very difficult weather conditions.
But now, a source tells Reuters that the evacuation of the remaining hikers should be completed on Tuesday.
Due to a week-long holiday celebration, outdoor enthusiasts gathered to view the eastern side of Mount Everest before the weather turned and trapped them on the mountain.
