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.

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."
