Nepal court orders limit on Everest climbing permits

Nepal's Supreme Court has ordered the government to limit the number of mountaineering permits issued for Everest and other peaks, a lawyer confirmed Friday, just as expeditions prepare for the spring climbing season.

The Himalayan republic is home to eight of the world’s 10 highest peaks and welcomes hundreds of adventurers each spring, when temperatures are warm and winds are typically calm.Lawyer Deepak Bikram Mishra, who had filed a petition urging permits to be curtailed, told AFP that the court had responded to public concerns about Nepal’s mountains and its environment.

The full text of the verdict has not been published and the summary does not mention any specific limit to the number of permits issued. “It is not clear right now how it will impact the industry. We don’t know on what basis the limits will be made and how will this be divided among expedition operators,” Sherpa said.- posted someone else's personally identifiable information
