How You Can Help on Your Everest Trekking Adventure
The reputation of the Mount Everest summit being covered in trash is changing. Massive cleanup efforts are restoring the beauty of the Mount Everest expedition region.
The Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC) manages waste at Everest Base Camp. They ensure that Mount Everest expedition teams carry down everything they carry up.
Trekkers can volunteer to carry small bags of trash down to Lukla. It’s a simple way to give back during your Everest trekking journey and help preserve the mountain's sanctity.
New rules require Mount Everest summit climbers to use WAG bags at high camps. This reduces biological pollution and keeps the 'Death Zone' cleaner for future expeditions.
Be a responsible explorer. Your Mount Everest expedition should leave the trails cleaner than you found them.
