Nepal has increased climbing permit fees for mountains, including Everest, under the Sixth Amendment of the Mountaineering Rules 2081. Fees aim to support safety, fair wages, mountain cleanliness, and sustainable tourism.
From 16 Bhadra 2082, Nepal has increased climbing permit fees for its mountains under the Sixth Amendment of the Mountaineering Rules 2081. Sagarmatha (Everest) climbing now costs $15,000 per person, up from $11,000.
Other seasonal fees vary: Spring $10,000, Autumn $5,000, Winter/Rainy $2,500 for normal routes. Mountains above 8,000 meters now cost $3,000 in Spring, with lower fees in other seasons. Manaslu, Ama Dablam, and smaller peaks also have updated charges.
The Department of Tourism stated that the increased fees will support climber safety, insurance for workers, fair wages, mountain cleanliness, and sustainable development of mountain regions.
September to November is the main climbing season in Nepal, and many international tourists have already begun booking permits. Authorities expect the new fees to help ensure safer and more sustainable mountaineering experiences for all.
