In an inspiring move to protect the majestic Himalayas, the Nepal Army announced on Sunday a bold plan to collect 10 tons of waste from three of the world's towering peaks, including the legendary Mount Qomolangma! 🌍✨
Starting this Thursday, three dedicated teams will set off on a 50-day mission to clean up the slopes of Mount Qomolangma (standing tall at 8,848.86 meters), the fourth highest Mount Lhotse (8,516 meters), and the stunning Mount Nuptse (7,861 meters). They're not going alone—the brave Nepali Sherpa climbers will be by their side, guiding them through this epic journey. 🏔️👣
\"Our teams will leave for the cleaning campaign on Thursday,\" shared Brig Gen Sanjay Deuja, the mastermind behind this initiative. \"Along with the waste, we also plan to recover and bring back five dead bodies lying abandoned there.\"
This mission isn't just about tidying up; it's about honoring the mountains that have given so much to climbers and adventurers from around the globe. It's a call to action for all of us to take care of our planet, one step at a time. 🌿🌎
The Nepal Army's commitment reflects a growing awareness and responsibility towards environmental conservation. So let's cheer them on as they embark on this noble quest! 🎉👏
