Weather experts and a radar vehicle have arrived at the base camp of Mount Qomolangma to provide weather services to the team. Heavy snow at the high-altitude area posed a threat of avalanches and falling rocks, delaying plans of the mountaineering team to reach the mountain peak on May 12 and 22.

According to their latest plan, the squad is expected to reach the No.1 camp of the mountain at an altitude of 7,028 meters later on Sunday and arrive at the peak on May 27.
