6. Only 300 people per year will be allowed to climb Mt. Everest.
The only time you can climb Mount Everest in 2019 and subsequent years will be in the spring. Additionally, there are restrictions on the number of climbers, which is capped at 300 per year. This choice was made in response to the need for the local government to clean the mountain; in 2018, 8.4 tonnes of waste and excrement were gathered there. Toilets and dumpsters are now available.
