Everest: How to bring down the garbage left by the mountaineers on the highest peak ?

Solukhumbu. According to the officials, the clean-up operation has been carried out in the Everest region at different times.



However, Arohan associates say that the task of dumping garbage in the high mountainous region is not easy.

In recent days, Nepal Army helicopters alone have collected about 3,000 kg of garbage from the upper and lower reaches of Everest, Assistant Spokesperson Rathi Bijnan Dev Pandey told the BBC Nepali Service.

The first successful ascent of Everest was made in May 1953. Since then, more than 4,800 climbers have climbed the mountain. About 300 climbers have been killed. The bodies of many of the dead climbers are still in the highlands.

Concerns have already been raised about the accumulation of crumbling equipment, metal cylinders of oxygen cylinders, human excrement and empty bottles of beer and other beverages around the trekking route from the highlands to the lowlands.

Mount Everest is located in the Everest National Park, one of the protected natural areas of Nepal. There are strict rules of conservation. However, the concern that Mt. Everest is dirty has not gone away.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

"The mountains began to stink."

Climbers spend most of their time in the second camp after the base camp. That's where they stockpile food and supplies.

Arohan associate Chatur Tamang says, "So there is as much garbage in 'Camp Two' as there is in the base camp. There is garbage like pieces of tents, broken oxygen cylinders."

Another climbing aide, Dilu Bik, said, "There is no toilet upstairs. So there is a lot of defecation. Even if it is covered with snow, when the snow melts, everything is visible outside. The same snow melts and you have to drink water. The mountain is starting to stink."

Lukla Airport: Why is this airport located in the lap of Mount Everest considered scary ?

What is the geography like ? Lukla Airport has been in operation since 1971. It was later renamed Tenzing-Hillary Airport in honor of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. It is 2800 meters above sea level. According to the Civil Aviation Authority, it is 527 meters long and 20 meters wide, which is shorter than other airports. As there is a short runway, ‘overshoot’ is not possible there. Experts say that it would be difficult to land the same flight. How is it different from others ? Experts say that if the landing is not considered safe in the final case, the airport should have a place where the aircraft can be flown straight ahead or left or right. ‘Overshoot’ is considered to be the general standard required for an airport. But Lukla has not reached that standard. Due to the short runway, the airport has been constructed in a different way to speed up the flight and stop the landing. Its lower part and upper part are at an angle of about 12 degrees. It makes a difference

Deserted Mount Everest, many names and history of climbing

The first attempt to climb the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, was made in 1921 by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Howard Barry of the British Army. Especially in 1855, when the height of the mountain was discovered to be 8,040 meters, British and other European climbers began expeditions to conquer the mountain. Even though the real and special name of Everest from the beginning was Chomolungma, yes, it was known by more than one and a half dozen names including Devdhunga, Bhairavnath, Chari Lameni, Mitiguti, Third-Pole, The Goddess Mother of the Earth, Cha-Po-Lungma. Since Nepal was not allowed to climb Mt. Everest at that time, the British team first climbed Mt. Everest in 1921 after getting permission from the 13th Dalai Lama of Tibet in 1920. Thus, between 1921-38, Mount Everest was climbed twice and Rekhi (measurement) was done. Team member Dr. AM Callus died. In 2020, Nepal and China measured the height of Mount Everest by 86 centimeters. Now the height of Everest is 8848.86
