Nepal mulls shifting Everest Base Camp

Nepal is considering relocating Everest Base Camp because of environmental concerns.

Nepal’s Department of Tourism Director-General Taranath Adhikari, said the current Base Camp location is at risk from the melting of the nearby Khumbu glacier.

“We have received recommendations from numerous stakeholders to relocate the base camp,” Adhikari told CNN.

No decision has been made and extensive research would-be undertaken first. That means a decision is unlikely for couple of years.
