Rope fixing work is considered very important on Everest in every climbing season, which ensures a safe path for hundreds of climbers.
According to the royalty report released by the Department of Tourism from 17 Falgun 2082 to 25 Baisakh 2083, 492 foreign climbers have been granted permits through 50 expedition teams to climb Everest. Of these, 387 are men and 105 are women. This number is the highest among all mountains this season.
The previous record for Everest climbing permits was set in 2023. 478 people were granted permits that year. The department stated that the number of permits this year has surpassed that record and set the highest ever.
The government has collected about Rs 1.07 billion in royalties from Everest alone, which is the highest revenue Nepal has ever received from a single mountain. Everest also accounts for the largest share of total mountaineering income.
This spring season, Nepal has allowed 1,134 foreign climbers through 135 teams to climb 30 mountains, including Everest. The department's data shows that the government has collected a total of about Rs 1.24 billion in revenue from this.
