Dinesh Bhattarai, the director of the tourism bureau, said David was detained by the police, but he has not yet decided on the lawsuit. He may be fined $ 22,000, and forbade to visit Nepal for a long time or climb a mountain area.

The cost of Everest climbing is $ 11,000 per person. This money will help poor countries to fund government services, such as climbers rescuing injuries and illnesses.

This month, hundreds of climbers will try to climb the mountain of Mount Everest. There, the highest peak in the world has the most favorable weather conditions.

The tourism department issued 371 licenses to those who are going to climb this year, and they have the same number or more of Nepalese Sherpa guides with them.

The first climber climbed the mountaintop early this week. However, the weather around the summit has deteriorated, letting other climbers wait

An increase in the number of climbers this year may include the number of people who returned after 2014 and 2015 could not climb.

In the avalanche of the base camp due to the earthquake, 19 climbers died, 61 people were injured, the 2015 season was canceled. In 2014, 16 Sherpa guides died in avalanche of Kumbu Glacier.

A climber with a license for the 2014 season can acquire a free exchange license until 2019, but climbers with a license of 2015 can only acquire until this year.

Davy uploaded the following video on his Facebook page. "I am about to enter the travel department, I do not know the result of licenses I was able to climb without using Everest, they started a couple of activities."

On 24 August 2015 Nepal resumed Mount Everest including sightseeing for climbers. Japanese climber Tsuyoshi Kuriki who tried climbing Mount Everest four times but did not succeed was awarded the only climber license of autumn season. He tried the fifth attempt in October but had to give up only 700 meters (2,300 feet) from the summit because of "strong wind and heavy snow". Kuruki realized the danger of climbing Mount Everest, was trapped in the snow cave near the summit for two days, bear frostbite and underwent frostbite. To bring further difficulties

Most people climb Everest from Nepalese side. From Nepal's lively capital, Kathmandu, climbers fly short to Lukla and then walk about 10 days to Everest Base Camp (17,500 ft.). Most people spend a few weeks in spring and adapt highly during breaks and day trips and wait for the Everest Summit to be held in May. The popularity of Mount Everest continues to rise. Over a typical year, over 600 people got on Everest. This is about half of trying Everest (or at least license fee). About two-thirds of the summit will be held in southern Nepal and the remainder will be held from northern Tibet. In Everest's short mountaineering season, most people do this usually during the week of May between the region's winter and the summer monsoon
