Rescue teams in Tibet are assisting hundreds of hikers stranded by heavy snow near Mount Everest, with approximately 350 reaching a safe point in Tingri County and contact maintained with about 200 others, according to Chinese media reports shared via X on October 6th, 2025, between 9:34 AM and 11:04 AM UTC. The operation is addressing a significant weather event that has trapped trekkers in the Himalayan region. Over the past hour and a half, rescue efforts have focused on reaching and securing individuals affected by the adverse conditions. Chinese media confirmed that contact has been established with approximately 200 more stranded individuals, indicating ongoing efforts to account for everyone involved. This development follows earlier reports from October 6th that detailed similar rescue activities in the area. The current rescue operation in Tibet is a separate event from geopolitical statements recently made by President Donald Trump concerning the India-Pakistan conflict and an arrest related to a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, as noted in previous reports. The focus remains on the immediate safety and recovery of the trekkers.
