The Everest Summiteers’ Association (ESA), in collaboration with the government, Eco Himal, Nepal Mountaineering Association and Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, have brought tonnes of waste collected from Mount Everest to Kathmandu. As some of the waste collected include oxygen cylinders, helicopter debris, metals etc that dates back to as early as the 1950s, the association members have requested the Nepalese government to archive these in the museum.

We had a fantastic time and that the valley you recommended that we go into was brilliant. The views and the remoteness were absolutely beautiful.
We work with the motto "Tourism for Development". Explore Himalaya Community Service Project was conceived to empower underprivileged segments of Nepal.
