More than 270 climbers successfully scaled the summit of Mount Everest (8,848.86 meters) on Wednesday, the world's highest peak, as part of the ongoing spring climbing season. According to the Mountaineering Association of Nepal, this is one of the largest and most historic climbs in a single day in the history of Nepali mountain tourism. According to a press release issued by the association's general secretary, Rishi Ram Bhandari, this achievement is a very proud and exciting moment for Nepal's tourism and adventure sector. This time, many new records have been set, including the 32nd ascent of Mount Everest by Nepal's Kami Rita Sherpa and the 11th ascent by Lakpa Sherpa of Sankhuwasabha for women.
This year (spring 2026) more than 500 climbers from Nepal have obtained permits to climb Mount Everest, which is a new record in itself.
On May 13, 2026, the Everest was opened to climbers after the Mountaineering Association of Nepal's road clearing and rope-laying team successfully constructed the route. Since then, the association has stated that climbers have been continuously reaching the peak as the weather cooperates.
'Due to the discipline and cooperation of all concerned bodies, climbers, Sherpa guides and support staff, climbing activities are currently being conducted safely, systematically and successfully in various mountainous areas including Mount Everest,' said General Secretary Bhandari.
