Watch: Shocking Video Reveals Horrifying Amount Of Garbage Piling Up At Mt Everest Campsite

It is our job to maintain an ecological balance wherever we travel, whether within India or beyond. We should never leave the environment filthy and strewn with rubbish and garbage. Mountaineers have a tremendous impact on Mount Everest and are responsible for its preservation and protection.

However, a video that has gone viral on social media depicts an entirely terrible scenario. Watch the viral video here.

I really don't find this adventurous at all. In the name of thrill people do whatever they feel like. They want to go on for a fresh air and surroundings And can't even keep their own home clean

Another man suggested, "Appreciating ur efforts. At the same time we hv to bring strict rules to minimise this. Otherwise it'll end up in great irreversible damage. Keep up the good work."

Appreciating ur efforts.
At the same time we hv to bring strict rules to minimise this.

Another man added, "On one hand is this in comparison to sewage treatment plant in Antarctica projects does not throw up into the sea. Civic sense discipline needed or fix heavy penalty. eg Singapore today in comparison to five decades back or so."

A man also pointed out, "The Govt of Nepal charges a king¡¯s ransom for any mountaineer to climb Mt. Everest or other peaks. The cleaning of base camp is factored into this fee. The waste that is seen in these pictures have posed a huge problem for years but the Nepali Government had turned a blind eye."
