KATHMANDU: Everest has now been piled with the garbage. Climbers are the main source of pollution on Everest. Besides, some climbers die while climbing the world’s highest peak.

Garbage started piling up since the first human successful attempt to conquer Everest in 1953.

Beside dead bodies, garbage on Everest includes food packages, can bins, oxygen cylinders, cooking gas, tents among others.

Despite a majestic spell Everest still casts from a distance, it is getting less charming to the climbers due to pollution.

Layers of garbage piled up on Everest are getting visible due to snow melting. Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee has been working to clean Everest. However, its activities are focused on the base camp only.

It has been urgent to clean camp-2, camp-3 and camp-4 of Everest, according to PK Sherpa.
