A traveller resting above the Khumbu Icefall. The fluted ridges of Khumbutse (6636m) tower above the yellow tents of Everest Base Camp.
The yellow tents of Everest Base Camp are visible on the edge of the icefall. Changtse is shrouded in May clouds. The t0 day walk to Base Camp is Nepal's most popular trek. The spring trakking/climbing season ends in late May as the monsoon brings moisture laden clouds. The glacier under Base Camp is melting at an alarming rate necessitating the future relocation of Base Camp.
