站在珠穆朗瑪峯山腳下，你是否也曾經因爲無法在Snapchat上分享旅遊經歷而抱怨過？如今你可以了，因爲珠峯大本營要提供免費無線區了。

According to the Hindustan Times, the Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) announced that the technological step is being taken to help facilitate communication and aid rescue efforts.

根據《印度時報》報道，尼泊爾通信管理協會日前宣佈，他們正在採取技術手段，以幫助通訊和救援行動的開展。

At a height of 5,360 metres, this will make it the highest location where free Wifi is available. These Wifi trials will be rolled out in both the Lukla-Everest Base Camp area and at Annapurna Base Camp.

無線設備距地面的高度爲5360米，從而將成爲世界上高度最高的免費無線網絡，預計將在尼泊爾珠峯南坡大本營和安納普爾納大本營試行。

Located in Nepal, the mountain is a very popular destination for trekkers and mountaineers.

喜馬拉雅山位於尼泊爾，是深受揹包客和登山運動員歡迎的旅遊勝地。

Digambar Jha, chairman of the state-run NTA, said: "We will expand this service in other areas too."

尼泊爾國家電信委員會主席迪甘巴·傑哈表示：“我們也將在其他地區推行這項服務。”

He is hoping that besides easing communication, tourists and other users can send photos, videos and messages that will help boost tourism.

他希望此舉除了緩解通訊壓力外，也可讓遊客發送照片﹑視頻和信息，從而促進旅遊業的發展。
