The highest garbage dump

If my sched and if the budget permits I sometimes join mountain climbing events or group trip. And we always have a goal with each climb. Like we will be giving candies to the locals or can goods or school supplies etc. Just to put smiles on the locals face. And after which we also help to clean the community on our way home. And of course taking our own trash home. And we will report back to the local authorities where we ask permission to climb. showing that we took home our own trash and that everybody is safe and there are no reporrs of any problem during and after our climb.

That is a good thing they have made the rule....otherwise the garbage there has practically no chance to disintegrate and it will form another additional peak of garbage in Himalayas! Thanks for sharing the important piece of information! Thanks

There are islands formed out of trash, too. Some people are pigs!

Man pollutes everything.

I suppose when your life hangs literally on a rope you don't think about such things as environmental pollution.

How will the damned garbage affect us? I suspect no one lives there

When I first heard about adventurers who go to climb mountains I thought of 2 things: 1) Who carries their stuff for them? Answer: Some local who gets no credit!, and 2) What are they leaving behind? And there you have a picture of the answer to that!

I often wonder how they do this. Or maybe burn garbage at bon fires?

The rubbish was taken to the mountain by climbers. So mountain climbing should really take this trash down the mountain.

Yes it's awful! .. it's hypocritical to call themselves Nature Lovers and yet they don't care about the effect of their actions leaving their trash up there ..

People are so disgusting, it would seem that it should be a given that you would not pollute such a wonderful place.

Its a good decision but Why they are throwing garbage there?. Don't people have the sense? They should ask themselves 'isn't it my responsibility to maintain cleanliness'. Everyone going there should feel this responsibility.

Perhaps they need an annual climbing excursion by enthusiasts just to collect garbage. It'd be a way of sort of giving back to the mountain they so love. It's a shame all that garbage gets left behind.

Oh this is bad, even here in our country , garbages issue is one of the problem we are dealing..

Wow, that's a lot of garbage.

That's a bad view to look at. Garbage is really hard to deal with.

I think this is a good rule, bring back their garbage.

That's really sad ! I hope the new rule would solve the problem.

It is not only mountain climbers who leave garbage around. Where I live we have an organized beach clean-up twice a year, just to try and help keep the beach clean.

Great initiative to tackle polluting the mountains
