Nepal to Restrict Mt. Everest Permits: New Law to Limit Access
Nepal is set to introduce a new draft law that aims to limit access to Mount Everest to experienced climbers. The new regulations, currently in draft form, would require climbers to have previously scaled a peak above 7,000 meters before attempting Everest. This move is in response to concerns about the increasing number of deaths, overcrowding, and environmental degradation at the world’s highest peak.
