Nepal has announced plans to permit climbers to summit Mount Everest during the winter season for the first time in history. Traditionally, Everest expeditions take place in spring and autumn, but with advanced weather forecasting and improved climbing gear, authorities believe winter ascents can be safe. This initiative aims to boost tourism and provide local Sherpas with more employment opportunities. However, climbers will face extreme cold and stronger winds, making the challenge even more dangerous. The government is implementing strict guidelines to ensure climbers are adequately prepared for winter conditions.
