Imagine for a moment that you've won Mount Everest. On the climb you have successfully passed the notorious "Death Zone" and stand on the roof of the world. The landscape with so many thousands of feet of sea has to take breath with countless white blankets everywhere, with no noise and crowds. Reality is, however, a little different. The magic of looking at the stacks of garbage.
Dismantled empty cans and bottles, buried tents and oxygen bottles .... in all camps and routes. More people go to Mount Everest, and the byproduct is pollution. The Himalayan pearl is no exception, it is a good starting point for people to contaminate hard-to-reach and inaccessible places.
This problem is nothing new but it still lasts. Still in 2011 and 2012, 65 climbers managed to remove 8 tons of garbage from the mountain and later part of it to the artists. The result was sculpture to raise awareness and sensitize people to this problem.
One of the most magnificent places on our planet then became richer with the garbage. Nepal has therefore decided to take some steps in 2014 on this matter. Their ministry of tourism then decided that every climber would have to come back from the top carrying eight pounds of rubbish back. What yours, what that old man.
On return, the collected waste must be weighed, and if the amount of kilogram is less than necessary, the $ 4,000 cash deposit must be left before climbing. And Tibet is punished by taking deposits. This did not prove to be overly productive.
