Imozulu ecaleni kwendlela ye-EBC
Umzila we-EBC wokuhamba udume ngokutshintsha kweemeko zemozulu, ngakumbi kwiindawo eziphakamileyo. Ayingawo onke amaxesha onyaka afanelekileyo kuhambo oluya kwi-Everest Base Camp. NgoJuni-Agasti (imonsoon) kunye noNovemba-Januwari (ebusika), umzila wamkela iimeko zemozulu ezimbi kakhulu kunye namaqondo abandayo. Iindledlana zimtyibilizi ngenxa yemvula engatshintshiyo, kwaye kukho ubukho benkungu eshinyeneyo imini yonke, nto leyo eyenza ukuba kubonakale kuphantsi.
