On May 16, the army teams recovered two other bodies and skeletal remains on the two peaks.
In addition to the bodies, the teams have collected 11,000 kg of waste by Wednesday.
Starting on April 11, the Nepal Army deployed three teams to pick up waste on Mount Qomolangma (8,848 meters), Mount Lhotse (8,516 meters), and Mount Nuptse (7,861 meters) with the support of Nepali Sherpa climbers.
The Nepal Army planned to collect 10 tons of waste and retrieve five bodies from the peaks. This year’s cleaning campaign is scheduled to conclude on June 5.
The Nepal Army began collecting waste on various mountains in 2019, but the mission was suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
