A cybercafe aimed at tourists has set-up shop near the Everest base camp in northeastern Nepal, providing the world’s highest internet access.

The cybercafe is 5,180m above sea-level and has turned into quite the hit for tourists and climbers, who wish to make contact with their families before setting out to conquer Mt. Everest – the highest mountain in the world (8,848m).

The Sherpa International Cafe is just about an hour’s walk from the Everest base camp, situated in Gorakse.

Apparently two more of these cafe’s are on the way, according to Chhetan Sherpa – the owner.

Looks like high-altitude connectivity is quite the lucrative business with every climber wanting to bare the good-luck wishes from friends and family.
