Stricter rules should be imposed for a safer expedition experience at the world's highest peak, Qomolangma, known in the West as Mount Everest, while climbers should be cautious about the risk, experts say.

More precautions should be followed by expedition teams and governments to avoid repeating this year's high death toll, said Kul Bahadur Gurung, general secretary of the Nepal Mountaineering Association, or NMA, to China Daily.
