Ever been to Mount Everest? If the answer is yes, what good did you see there? If the answer is 'beautiful snow caped peaks, deep valleys, green forest', well of-course you needed an adventure and that's why you planned for a hiking to this beautiful mount.
What happens when such beauties are declared as tourist place? The answer is simple, it no more remains beautiful.
More than 1000 people climbed Mount Everest , the worlds highest peak since it was conquered in 1953.
They and their support teams have dropped more than 50 tonnes of rubbish making Everest the highest rubbish dump. (interesting but sad).
In 2001 Nepalese Sherpas (a local guide) collected more than 6 tonnes of paper bags, Tents, ropes, clothes, aluminium ladders, batteries, oxygen bottles and plastic bags.
Nepal now charges climbers Euro- 3000 Deposits which is returned only if they remove all their rubbish. Well now that's called environmental management.
Request to all to please take measure to keep our mother earth clean and hygienic. please!!
Thank you.
