Why do you think pollution on Mount Everest is so extreme?

Explanation:

With tourists, came so called ‘development’ which is always accompanied by mismanagement of natural resources and ensuing pollution. Mount Everest and the mountains in the Everest region could not make an exception. Feeding, housing and supplying over 35,000 trekkers, mountaineers, plus a few thousands more seasonal crew came with a price of polluting Mount Everest for many generations to come, until and unless we do something from today onwards. But with no waste management system in the town, the pollution concerning all the supplies and human excrements started piling up and now has flooded the area. Independent trekkers, trekking group, climbers scaling Everest and the government, all of them are equally responsible for degrading Everest region.

Apart from the trekking trail, Mount Everest itself; the Everest base camp and above; get more polluted every year at an increasing rate. Even though, the Everest Base Camp trekking route receives more waste than Mount Everest, the trekking trail is more accessible and people can manage wastes, unlike the mountains, especially Mount Everest in this case. It is idiosyncratic that the sacred sites had more dirt on it than the path that led up to it.
