| The Nepalese Government has introduced a set of new rules to regulate expeditions on its mountains. The major differences with respect to previous years are the protocol and duration of climbing permits, the royalties for Everest and other mountains and the implementation of a "Garbage Management" deposit, refunded at the end of the expedition after all rubbish has been transported back down to valley. Details of some of the most important new regulations are published below. Protocol and duration of permits. Expeditions apply for a “preliminary” permit and make a deposit payment of 5% for Everest and 10% for all other mountains. The remaining royalty fee must be paid within a year. The permit is revoked if the remaining royalty fee is not paid, and the royalty deposit is not refunded. Expeditions dates and mountains. These can per changed within two years of receiving the permit. The Ministry will charge for mountains with higher royalties but not refund expeditions that choose mountains with lower royalties. by Manuel Lugli
