"Mount Everest Conqueror Laments Crowded and Dirty Conditions"

Kanchha Sherpa, the last surviving member of the first team to conquer Mount Everest, expressed concern over the mountain's increasing crowding and pollution, stating that it should be respected as a god. With the peak being climbed thousands of times since the initial conquest, it has become crowded and dirty, with climbers leaving behind trash and waste. Sherpa emphasized the need to reduce the number of climbers and urged for greater respect for the mountain, which holds religious significance for the Sherpa community.
