After the heavy earthquake in the Tibetan Highlands around Mount Everest at the beginning of the year, the authorities brought the area around the highest mountain in the world to the public.
Saturday morning (local time) eight vehicles with 19 visitors were back in the area, the official press agency of China Xinhua reported.
The authorities had previously investigated the area to exclude security risks such as glacier fractures or avalanches.
126 Dead, National Park closed
On January 7, an earthquake of the thickness of 6.8 had shaken the Dingri Circle in the Chinese region, which is an important transit on the route to the 8849 meter high top of Mount Everest (see video above). 126 people died at the time.
The authorities then closed the National Park in the earthquake area, which also includes a base camp.
Eight deaths after avalanche accident
On March 2 there was also an avalanche accident in the Himalayar region in the border area with Tibet. 46 building workers can be freed from the snow and the rubble.
In the Indian part of the Himalayas mountains, avalanches and landslide are common, especially in winter. According to scientists, climate change strengthens extreme weather phenomena. Storms and strong rain and snowfall are becoming increasingly violent due to the warming of the oceans.
