The goal is to bring more tourists to remote parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the cost to climb Mount Everest will go up in September to $15,000. This is the first price rise in almost 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Nepal hopes the free climbs will help people discover new and less-visited mountains in Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces. These mountains are between 5,970m and 7,132m high. The areas are very beautiful but poor, and not many tourists visit because it is hard to get there.<\/p>\n<p>In the past two years, only 68 climbers have visited these 97 mountains. By comparison, over 400 people got Everest climbing permits in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Everest is very crowded and has safety and environmental problems. Nepal\u2019s Supreme Court has told the government to limit the number of climbers. There is also a new rule being discussed that says people must first climb a mountain over 7,000m before trying Everest.<\/p>\n<script>\n                            if (window.qmn_quiz_data === undefined) {\n                                    window.qmn_quiz_data = new Object();\n                            }\n                    <\/script><script>window.qmn_quiz_data[\"24\"] = {\"quiz_id\":\"24\",\"quiz_name\":\"Nepal Lets Climbers Explore 97 Mountains for Free\",\"disable_answer\":0,\"ajax_show_correct\":0,\"progress_bar\":\"0\",\"contact_info_location\":0,\"qpages\":{\"2\":{\"id\":\"2\",\"quizID\":\"24\",\"pagekey\":\"VZv4PSyj\",\"hide_prevbtn\":\"0\"}},\"skip_validation_time_expire\":0,\"timer_limit_val\":\"0\",\"disable_scroll_next_previous_click\":0,\"disable_scroll_on_result\":0,\"disable_first_page\":\"0\",\"enable_result_after_timer_end\":0,\"enable_quick_result_mc\":0,\"end_quiz_if_wrong\":0,\"form_disable_autofill\":0,\"disable_mathjax\":0,\"enable_quick_correct_answer_info\":0,\"quick_result_correct_answer_text\":\"Correct!
