All tourists visiting the Everest region have been confirmed safe after days of heavy snowfall, local authorities said on Monday.

The Solukhumbu district administration, police, and the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN) jointly verified that not a single visitor had been stranded in the area.

Chief district officer Leela Kumari KC Pandey said all trekkers remained safe inside their hotels during the snowfall, and trekking towards the Everest Base Camp has now resumed.

“No tourists are trapped in our region. Our information system is active and efficient. Everyone is travelling safely and without disruption,” she stated.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Manojit Kunwar, chief of Solukhumbu district police, said that a police post has been set up in Dingboche, just below the Everest Base Camp, to ensure security in the Khumbu area.

“We have deployed six officers under a sergeant’s command near the Base Camp. All tourists in the Khumbu region are safe, and we are providing full security,” Kunwar said.

He added that guides and porters have already begun clearing snow from trekking routes and are escorting tourists towards the Base Camp.

TAAN’s second vice-chairperson, Sanam Sherpa, also confirmed that no foreign tourists had encountered difficulties.

“All visitors are travelling comfortably in the Everest region. Only one person needed rescue assistance, but there are no major issues,” he said.

Similarly, the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), which oversees trail maintenance and sanitation, clarified that since this is not a climbing season, the likelihood of tourists being trapped above the Base Camp is minimal.

“Tourists do not climb Everest during this season. Everyone visiting the area is safe and enjoying their trip,” said SPCC chair Lama Kaji Sherpa.

Sherpa reported that around 3,000 foreign visitors have entered the Khumbu region since the start of the season, with nearly half already having reached the Base Camp.

Autumn and spring are the peak trekking seasons in the Everest region, while the main climbing season falls in spring (March–May). Bad weather in recent days had affected air and road travel to the region, leading to temporary concern after some Chinese media reports claimed that more than 1,000 tourists were stranded.

Authorities have since dismissed those claims, confirming that all tourists are safe and that trekking activities have fully resumed.
