Realizing mountaineering as the
back-bone of Nepal’s tourism industry, the Government
of Nepal has made following decisions in a bid to make
mountaineering royalty fee competitive amongst the neighboring
countries, promote mountains lying in remote and less
privileged areas, and create environment to transform
the seasonal mountaineering business operational round
the year and materialize the concept of ‘Nepal for
all Seasons’:
1. Provide discount
of 50% in winter and Summer Season and 75% in Autumn Season
keeping intact the Royalty Fee in Spring Season. 2. Increase the number of climbing member
in an expedition from 12 to 15. 3. Provide 100% discount on Royalty Fee
for mountains located in mid and Far Western Development
Regions for 5 years. 4. Implement Incremental Royalty Break-down
System (IRDS), a system under which permit fee increases
with the increase in number of climbing members, on all
mountains instead of lump sum per expedition having climbing
members seven or less than that.
