Annapurna and other highest peaks. Nepal Bans Solo Mountain Climbers from 2018 major reason for this is considering the safety of the climbers, Nepal has banned solo climbers from scaling its mountains, including Mount Everest.
Nepal’s Tourism Secretary Maheswor Neupane explained that this law had been revised in order to make climbing safer reducing the number of deaths. More than 290 people have died while attempting to scale Mt. Everest.
Also Neupane said to The Kathmandu Post,”We have also adopted a strict provision to check the medical certificate of the climbers to determine whether they are physically fit to climb the mountains,”.
From 2018, mountain climbers will not alone climb the peaks but must climb with the expedition guide. Thinkung that guide will help the mountaineers to have safe expedition to the summit.  Similarly, people who are blind or a double amputee will not be able to climb at all or we can say that must have sound physique. There will be essentail of the A valid medical certificate those who want to reach the summit.

#Can I trek to Everest Base Camp trek or other base camp trek alone?

The answer is in BIG NOO. Because you may not be able to withstand the acute altitude sickness (AMS), may not know the routes and may not be familiar with the temperature of  Himalayas.
But  You could trek alone if you possess prior trekking experience in Nepal or on any part of world.  I strongly recommend to you that always trek with the professional trekking guides as safety comes first.
