    From September, those seeking to summit the world’s tallest mountain during peak season will have to pay $15,000 (£12,180), a 36% rise on the longstanding fee of $11,000, officials said on Wednesday.

    Fees for those wanting to climb outside the peak April to May period will also increase by the same percentage - meaning it will cost $7,500 during September to November, and $3,750 during December to February.
