Environmental issues on Mount Everest

by Dolma Diki Sherpa | 01-09-2020 15:53 recommendations 0

Nepal is one of the best destination for tourism.Tourism industry is growing in escalating rate as it is major contribution to our economy. More than 4000 people get succeed to summit Mount Everest after Sir Edmund Hillary  and Tenzing Norgay. Today Everest is so overcrowded and full of garbage trash called world highest garbage dumb.

Abandoned gear and tents,empty oxygen bottle, food container pile on snowy land without proper disposal. Dead human body have not decayed for many years due to cold environment lack of microorganisms. Human faeces have accumulated on snow. People have started to replace forest area to build hotel and lodges in this area. Due to climate change ice and snow begins to melt and exposing more garbage which are covered for more than years in snow. Above mentioned environmental issue have harmful impact on both environment and human health.


Nepal government has initiated a campaign to collect 1000 kg thrash from mountain. Each people should pay $4000 as a deposit to visit Mt Everest  but if the person collect 8kg garbage then deposit money will be refunded. Different NGO and project are working hardwork to clean up the mountain.

Mount Everest is also called as Chomolungma which means goddnes mother of world in Tibetan language. To Sherpa people mountain is sacred place,deserving dignity and respect.Due to poor waste management and lack of recycling our mountain changed into polluted mess. To protect our sacred mountain we should give awareness to most of mountaineer and individuals.
