381 people on 44 teams. A little shy of $4.2 million in permit fees alone. Then there’s the money spent for lodging on the hike in There’s money for sherpas and porters and supplies also. I’m pretty sure the climbers are also required to purchase insurances.

and unfortunately the real heroes, the sherpas get paid a pitiful percentage of that. Nepalese govt could easily double or triple the price of a permit, all these people could afford it, and the sherpas could get a more equitable percentage for what they risk.
