This campaign aims to protect and preserve sanctity of the Himalayas by retrieving waste that has been left behind by trekkers and accumulated on the mountains over the years. The campaign began on March 28, and will go on until June 5.
The expedition team consisting of 97 people will be cleaning four mountains of Nepal that are above 8,000 metres which includes Mt Everest, Mt Lhotse, Mt Annapurna, and Mt Baruntse. It is estimated that over 35 tonnes of waste will be collected and handed over to recycling partners for waste management.
