The route to climb Mt Everest has now opened for this year's spring mountaineering season. 

The route was opened after a rope-fixing mission from Everest base camp to the summit completed on Wednesday. 

 The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation on December 17, 2025, had given responsibility to Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee and Expedition Operators Association Nepal to fix climbing ropes for managing routes for the expedition to Mt Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse peaks.  

According to the Department of Tourism, the rope fixing task from Everest  base camp to the summit was concluded at 10:25 am Wednesday. 

It extended gratitude towards the tourist guide and 'icefall doctors' involved in the rope-fixing mission. 

Eight icefall doctors from Everest  base camp to Camp-2 and 11 tourist guides from Camp-2 to the summit were involved in the rope-fixing mission, reads a statement issued by the Department on Wednesday.
