Permit Fees of Mountains under Government of Nepal till 31 August 2025

In 2015 AD, the Nepali government reorganized the fees for mountain climbing permits.  On January 1, 2015, the revised royalties structure went into effect.  Restructuring the royalties is intended to promote mountain climbing in remote areas, boost competition among neighboring counties, and support year-round mountaineering and climbing. 

The features of recently changed royalty fees are:

• The permit fees were discounted to 50% for autumn expeditions than spring and to 25% for winter and summer expeditions.
• The Maximum number of expedition members allowed per expedition was increased from 12 to 15.
• The individual or small size group is more beneficial with the changed structure
• Climbing royalty was waved for 5 years for peaks located in mid and far western regions.
• Incremental royalty system was implemented, whereby royalty fee is proportional to several expedition members replacing the previous flat fee per expedition.
