Nepal is one of the cheapest countries in Asia to live in. A single person could live in comfortable conditions for just $500 USD. 1 USD is 130.15 Rupee. Not direct cost but you could survive on just $385 USD a month. 

If anyone thinks Nepal isn’t driving to have this tourist location they’re ignorant. Nepal’s “mineral resources are small, scattered, and barely developed.” They rely heavily on agriculture, and Everest being a natural world wonder brings in heavy tourist money. 

There’s no exploitation going on here that I can see.

I read a long time ago that some Sherpas do this in their 20s and early 30s then retire for the rest of their lives. It's hard to see where exploitation is going on there.
