The Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation said Wednesday the mountaineering fee should not be less that 50 percent of the specified royalty depending on the number of the members of the expedition.

Ten percent of the money raised from the fee must be spent on the tourism promotion of the place or district concerned for which a separate fund will be created.

Likewise, 10 percent of the total fee must be spent on conservation and cleaning of the environment in tandem with the governmental and non-governmental organisations.

The remaining sum must be utilised for the completion of the national and international projects launched by the Nepal Mountaineering Association and promotion of mountaineering tourism.
