A fire has destroyed a hotel near the Mount Everest base camp in Nepal. Footage of the scene at Hotel Good Luck in Dingboche, in the Solukhumbu district, shows flames and black smoke pouring from the building on Friday morning. In one video, people in surrounding buildings can be seen tossing mattresses and other belongings out of their windows while the fire continues to grow. Another from the inside of the hotel shows smoke engulfing entire rooms as frantic guests scramble to get out. British travel blogger Callan Bowl filmed the scene which he then posted on his Instagram. Speaking to the camera, he said: 'The hotel is on fire. 'It's spreading…There's no rescue here, nobody is allowed to move out of this area because of the snowfall, because of avalanches, so nobody can come put the fire out.' A heavy snowstorm is seen raging on in the video. The area has been experiencing adverse weather conditions in recent days.
