KATHMANDU – A renowned US mountain guide who recently achieved the rare feat of climbing Mount Everest and two nearby peaks in less than three weeks said on Tuesday that Nepal needs to do a better job of policing the world’s highest mountain to save it from garbage.
It is mandatory for climbers to carry their waste down from the mountain and claim back a garbage deposit of US$4,000 from the government. The authorities collected 13 tonnes of rubbish from Everest and the nearby Lhotse peak in 2023 as part of a campaign to keep the mountains clean.
