'Everest's new era': Nepal implements GPS tracking and poo Bag regulations for mountaineers
This new rule, aimed at facilitating rescues during emergencies, requires climbers to equip themselves with small, passive trackers, which do not require power and can be detected through snow up to 20 yards away, a report in Independent said. Rakesh Gurung, director of mountaineering at Nepal’s tourism department, emphasized the importance of the trackers, saying, "The trackers are mandatory for climbers this year, so that if there is an accident their location can be accurately identified."
