Control Crowd on Mt. Everest

Nepal Now, latest news updates

Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Mt Everest, suggested Nepal to control the crowd of mountaineers in Mt. Everest. She said, “it is not good to allow hundreds of climbers to move up to the Mt Everest in a single season. Allowing a large number of climbers in a season poses high risks to mountain environment and the climbers as well”.

Being a sub-leader of Japanese Women’s Everest Expedition and leader of its climbing party, she successfully climbed Mt Everest in 1975, becoming the first woman in the world to reach the world’s highest peak. In 1992, she also became the first woman in the world to reach the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.
