KATHMANDU – Nepal has announced a 36% hike in permit fees for climbing Mount Everest, the first increase in nearly a decade. The new fees, effective from September 2025, are aimed at boosting government revenue, which heavily depends on income from foreign climbers’ permits and related spending.
Under the revised structure, the permit for the peak April-May climbing season will rise from $11,000 to $15,000. Fees for the less popular September-November and December-February seasons will also increase to $7,500 and $3,750, respectively.
Critics have long voiced concerns about overcrowding and environmental degradation on Everest. Mountaineering experts have highlighted the growing number of climbers and inadequate cleaning and safety measures. Many climbers have also observed that the mountain is becoming drier and rockier, a trend linked to global warming.
