Скачать или смотреть More Overcrowding? How 2025 Is Changing Everest

That same year, Nepal issued a record 478 permits across 47 teams, fueling nearly 600 summit attempts. Overcrowding choked the Death Zone. Delays turned deadly.

And by 2024, conditions didn’t improve — over 2,000 people flooded Base Camp, while risk levels stayed dangerously high. Two brutal seasons in a row made one thing clear: Everest couldn’t keep going like this. So in 2025, Nepal rewrote the rulebook. Higher fees. Stricter rules. No solo climbs. What comes next will change the world’s highest mountain — and the people who try to survive it.
