Everest sets triple record in permits, revenue, and single-day summits

Climbers from Nepal and abroad reached the 8,848.86-metre peak through 18 expedition companies operating on the southern route.

This year has turned into a record-breaking season on Mount Everest, Sagarmatha, as Nepal issued the highest number of climbing permits and collected record royalty revenue. It has now also recorded an unprecedented number of successful summits from the Nepali side.
