 Mount Everest trekking guide has called for "strict rules" imposed by Nepal's government to combat the "huge problem" of trash on Mount Everest, including banning litterers from all mountains for "a lifetime." Standing at 29,032 feet, the world's highest mountain is also fast becoming the world's highest dumping ground, according to a recent viral video showing piles of garbage sprawled across a Mount Everest base camp. The video was shared on Instagram by Tenzi Sherpa (@tenzi_sherpa1999), 24, who has been an Everest trekking guide since 2019. The footage was taken just days before the 70th anniversary of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's ascent of Everest, on May 29, 1953. They were the first people confirmed to have reached the summit.

"I think the government should make strict rules for those who leave trash [on Mount Everest], and a more effective cleaning campaign project should be held."

"The dirtiest camp I have ever seen," Tenzi Sherpa said in a caption shared with the post, which has gained over 91,400 views.
