The Nepalese government has set up a fund to provide assistance to the families of those who died in mountaineering accidents.
Nepal recently experienced a mountain disaster, where a group of Nepalese guides working on Mount Everest in the Himalayas were caught in an avalanche, resulting in at least 13 fatalities. In response, the Nepalese government has established a "Mountaineers' Relief Fund" to support the families of the deceased climbers.
Nepal opened Mount Everest to foreign climbers in 1953 and now receives around 4,000 international mountaineers annually, earning substantial foreign exchange revenue.
However, Mount Everest's rugged terrain and rapidly changing weather conditions frequently lead to landslides or avalanches. Since 1953, over 400 climbers and Nepalese guides have lost their lives in mountaineering accidents.
