DJI Drone Flies over the Top of Mount Everest
How did they get to the summit without there being a traffic jam? I thought it was supposed to be packed with people all the time these days

The traffic jams are during the peak guided climbing season in May. AFAIK they've made changes to the number of permits given per year now so there should be less traffic on the mountain.

This and the “viral” picture of the jam was also after a bad weather period where a small window opened up and everyone from the camps had to go.
