Nepal to require all Mount Everest climbers to use a tracking chip
Ahead of the 2024 Mount Everest season, Nepal has announced a new requirement that all climbers must rent and use tracking chips on their journey.
“Reputed companies were already using them, but now it’s been mandatory for all climbers,” says Rakesh Gurung, director of Nepal’s Department of tourism. “It will cut down search and rescue time in the event of an accident.”
He explains that climbers will pay $10-15 apiece for the chips, which will be sewn into their jackets. Once the climber returns, the chip will be removed, given back to the government, and saved for the next person. Tracking chips use the global positioning system (GPS) to share information with satellites.
Gurung added that the chips were manufactured in “a European country” but did not specify where or by which company.
The majority of people who try to climb the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) Mount Everest do so via Nepal, paying $11,000 apiece just for the climbing permit.
