Hundreds of trekkers were trapped on Mount Everest after a sudden blizzard hit the remote Karma Valley during China’s National Holiday weekend. The snowstorm began on Friday evening and continued throughout Saturday, burying camps and cutting off access and communication routes. Trekkers describe harsh conditions, hypothermia, and exhaustion as rescuers fight to bring everyone back safely. 

After years of border tensions, India and China are cautiously moving toward a diplomatic reset, marked by rare high-level visits and renewed dialogue.
