The four-minute video begins at the iconic base camp, situated at an altitude of 5,300 meters. From there, the drone captures the ascent to the first campsite at 6,000 meters, offering breathtaking views of the Khumbu Icefall and the surrounding glaciers.
The footage also shows mountaineers making their way up or down the mountain, with the camera then panning out to reveal the winding trail leading down to the base camp. The camera shows the sprawling tent city at the base camp, with colourful tents scattered across the landscape.
