  • The rocky path lead to the signature stone of EBC
  • The entire Glacier is ever shifting, is dangerous and has unstable surface due to the loose gravel, pebbles, stones and collapsing glacial ice. Section /intersection of Kangri Shar Glacier and Khumbu Glacier is most risky to negotiate. One has to be sure of their footing other wise the chances of accidents and injury are very high. The Everest Base Camp is set up adjoining the Khumbu ice fall & Khumbu Glacier.
