Nepalese Climbers Remove 2.2 Tons Of Waste From Everest In 47 Days Amid COVID Lockdown
Nepalese climbers have managed to remove 2.2 tons of waste from base camps of the world’s highest mountain peaks in the Himalayas in less than 47 days.
Nepalese climbers have managed to remove 2.2 tons of waste from base camps of the world’s highest mountain peaks in the Himalayas in less than 47 days. 12 Nepalese climbers covered a total distance of more than 450 kilometres on all 8,000m peaks around Mount Everest. The initiative, launched by Bally Peak Outlook Foundation, began in September 2020 when official trails in the mountains were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 10,000 expeditions have attempted to climb Mount Everest since 1905. The expedition starts by setting up camps at the base of the mountains, which goes on to become polluted in the process.

KATHMANDU:
Nepali mountaineers have for decades toiled in the shadows as foreign climbers win accolades for conquering the world's most treacherous peaks, but now a team has carved the Himalayan nation a place in history by achieving the first-ever winter summit of K2.
Their ascent in mid-January of the world's second-highest mountain -- the notoriously challenging 8,611-metre (28,251-feet) "savage mountain" of Pakistan -- shone a much-deserved spotlight on their own climbing prowess.
