The Expedition Operators Association Nepal (EOA) has bid farewell to two specialized teams tasked with fixing ropes and opening routes on Ama Dablam (6,812 m) and Himlung Himal (7,126 m) for the 2025 autumn climbing season.
Nepal’s celebrated autumn mountaineering season is in full swing, with 513 climbers from 60 expeditions receiving permits as of September 21, generating NPR 170.68 million in royalties, according to the Department of Tourism.
At least six rope-fixing Sherpas successfully stood atop Mt. Manaslu on Saturday, becoming the first team to climb the world's eighth-highest peak in the autumn season, according to the expedition organizer.
