Nepal earns a pretty penny to mountain tourism. Just a climbing permit costs the equivalent of some 10 000 per person. Last year, eight hundred climbers undertook on their journey after the earthquakes.

The climbing season normally begins in March. This time, the number of new licenses issued still very small. What does not cooperate, the state of Nepal's infrastructure is after the disaster of April 2015. Many roads are bad and there is a shortage of supplies.
