|September - October 2019
FOLLOWING RECORD deaths during the Everest climbing season earlier this year, Nepal’s government and the climbing community are suggesting a new list of preconditions for any summit attempt.

These are to include mandatory experience of summiting a Nepali peak of at least 6,500 metres, a certificate of physical fitness, the contracting of experienced guides and a fee of US$35,000. Previously, climbers were only required to pay US$11,000 for a permit and hire a Nepalese guide.
