New Everest rules
A tourism bill in the Upper House requires climbers to have climbed a 7,000m mountain before attempting Everest. A similar 6,000m requirement was introduced in 1995-96 but scrapped after the number of climbers plummeted. The bill also mandates expedition staff to be Nepali citizens.
