“It is very necessary to immediately direct our attention to this,” he said, adding that Everest Day should really be celebrated by government funding campaigns to clean up the camps near the summit. There have been clean up campaigns on the mountain almost every year. A team of Nepali soldiers were still on the mountain picking up trash left behind by previous expeditions.
“At the moment, not enough garbage has been taken out from Camp 3 or 4,” Kami Rita said. “There had been cleanup campaigns but all of that have been for either Camp 2 or below.”Nepal’s prime minister wins confidence vote in parliament, his fourth since taking office“There needs to be increased amount of insurance up to 6,000,000 rupees and there should be a provident fund,” he said.Kami Rita first climbed Everest in 1994 and has been making the trip nearly every year since.
