Nepal has banned solo climbers from scaling its mountains, including Mount Everest, in a bid to reduce accidents. <br/><br/>An official today said, the cabinet has endorsed a revision to the Himalayan nation's mountaineering regulations, banning solo climbing on its mountains. This is one of a string of measures being flagged ahead of the 2018 spring climbing season. <br/><br/>Maheshwor Neupane, Secretary at the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation said, the changes have barred solo expeditions, which were allowed before. Neupane said that the law was revised to make mountaineering safer and decrease deaths. <br/><br/>The cabinet also endorsed a ban on double amputee and blind climbers, although Everest has drawn multitudes of mountaineers wanting to overcome their disabilities and achieve the formidable feat.
