I recently visited to the National Botanical Garden in Godawari, Nepal, with my family, after a decade. This location is well-known in Nepal for its magnificent natural surroundings. It was great to view the garden's rich and Beautiful surrounds, which were full of natural beauty. The garden features a diverse plant collection and a peaceful ambience. It is very popular for tourist spot in Nepal, and I was delighted to rediscover its charm after so many years.

We had to pay an entry fee to get in, and after showing our tickets, we entered the National Botanical Garden. The view was absolutely stunning and even better than what I remembered from a long time ago. There have been significant changes in the plantings, and they've also created clear pathways for the visitors to explore. The improvements made the experience even more enjoyable, and I was impressed by the positive changes they've made over the years.

Godawari, as described in the book, is a paradise for nature enthusiasts, with an impressive diversity of species. Around 1000 plant species are conserved here, both in-situ and ex-situ. I asked one of the preservers present there, and he said This entire godawari area is home to 256 different bird species, accounting for one-third of all bird species in Nepal. Furthermore, Godawari is known for having over 300 kinds of butterflies and moths, which add to the vivid array of life seen in this area.

I believe the Godawari’s National Botanical Garden was one of the areas carefully conserved by our Government. But there is still lot of work to be done. Some of my recommendations are:

Preserving godawari demands a comprehensive strategy. The government should declare it a protected area and make it mandatory for sustainable tourist activities. It has the potential to become one of the top tourism destinations for both internal and external tourists.

Let’s involve local people and try to construct more required infrastructure, as well as educate every tourists about the history and present circumstances, and perform regular monitoring locally also collaborating with other NGOs and INGOs if possible.

Let us assure law enforcement and strive to put a long-term plan in place. If our efforts fail, let’s seek international assistance and conduct restoration operations. This multimodal strategy will ensure the beauty and biodiversity of godawari for our future generations. #nepal #visitnepal #godawaribotanicalgarden #Godawari

🎥 NEW| Tom Hiddleston and Willem Dafoe was spotted in Nepal while filming his upcoming biographical drama film ‘Tenzing' about climbing Mount Everest 🗻 starring Tom Hiddleston as Edmund Hillary and Willem Dafoe as John Hunt

Tom Hiddleston star as the New Zealand mountaineering great Hillary in Tenzing, while Willem Dafoe is set to play the role of Colonel John Hunt, the British Army officer who led the group on mankind’s first successful summit of Mt Everest.

A new biopic on Sherpa Tenzing Norgay‘s world-first ascent of Mt Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary began filming in Nepal this week, with Hollywood stars and film sets starting to pop up on the streets of Kathmandu.

A video shared to social media yesterday shows a large-scale production unfolding within inner-city Kathmandu, with packhorses and dozens of extras in costume taking their place around a bustling square.

The square where the video was taken is presumed to be Basantapur Durbar Square, a Unesco World Heritage Site that doubles as a popular filming location. More than 300 foreigners have been brought in to work as part of the film crew.

Can't Wait to See the film 🗻🍿 A film about Everest is always window into the world of mountaineering.

BTW- If any SH’s fans 🤯 think he was on this project about Everest the answer is a definite NO; his name was never associated with it. SH’s project was shelved some time ago, and this film is a completely new and different initiative.

Mount Everest: Climbers Will Need To Bring Poo 💩 Back To Base Camp ⛺️

— By Navin Singh Khadka | BBC World Service | Wednesday February 7, 2024

Many Mountaineers use open spaces as toilets on the higher camps of Everest

People climbing Mount Everest will now have to clear up their own poo and bring it back to base camp to be disposed of, authorities have said.

"Our Mountains Have Begun To Stink," Mingma Sherpa, Chairman of Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality, told the BBC.

The municipality, which covers most of the Everest region, has introduced the new rule as part of wider measures being implemented.

Due to extreme temperatures, excrement left on Everest does not fully degrade.

"We are getting complaints that human stools are visible on rocks and some climbers are falling sick. This is not acceptable and erodes our image," Mr Mingma adds.

Climbers attempting Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, and nearby Mount Lhotse will be ordered to buy so-called poo bags at base camp, which will be "checked upon their return".

Where Do You Poo Up a Mountain?

During climbing season mountaineers spend most of their time at base camp acclimatising to the altitude, where separate tents are erected as toilets, with barrels underneath collecting the excrement.

But once they begin their treacherous journey things get more difficult.

Most climbers and support staff tend to dig a hole but the higher you go up the mountain, some locations have less snow, so you have to go to the toilet out in the open.

Very few people bring their excrement back in biodegradable bags when climbing Mount Everest's summit, which can take weeks.

Rubbish remains a huge issue on Everest and other mountains in the region, although there has been an increasing number of clean-up campaigns, including an annual one led by the Nepali Army.

Clean-up campaigns have led to the removal of some rubbish, but that is mostly in lower camps

'Open Toilet'

"Waste remains a major issue, especially in higher up camps where you can't reach," says Chhiring Sherpa, Chief Executive Officer of the non-government organisation Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC).

Although no official figure exists, his organisation estimates that there are around three tonnes of human excrement between camp one at the bottom of Everest and camp four, towards the summit.

"Half of that is believed to be in South Col, also known as camp four," Mr Chhiring says.

Stephan Keck, an international mountain guide who also organises expeditions to Everest, said South Col has gained a reputation as an "open toilet".

At 7,906 metres (25,938 feet) high, South Col serves as the base before climbers attempt to reach the Everest and Lhotse summits. Here, the terrain is very windswept.

"There is hardly any ice and snow, so you will see human stools all around," Mr Keck says.

The rising number of climbers means there has been a significant increase in waste on Everest

Authorised by the Pasang Lhamu rural municipality, the SPCC is now procuring about 8,000 poo bags from the US, for an estimated 400 foreign climbers and 800 support staff for the upcoming climbing season that begins in March.

These poo bags contain chemicals and powders that solidify human excrement and make it largely odourless.

On average, a climber is thought to produce 250 grams of excrement per day. They usually spend about two weeks on the higher camps for the summit attempt.

"With that as the basis, we plan to give them two bags, each of which they can use five to six times," Mr Chhiring explains.

"It certainly is a positive thing, and we will be happy to play our part to make this successful," says Dambar Parajuli, president of the Expedition Operators Association of Nepal.

He said his organisation had suggested that this should first be brought in as a pilot project on Everest and then replicated on other mountains too.

Mingma Sherpa, the first Nepali to have climbed all 14 mountains above 8,000 metres, said use of such bags to manage human waste has been tried and tested on other mountains.

"Mountaineers have been using such bags on Mount Denali (the highest peak in North America) and in the Antarctic as well, that is why we have been advocating for it," says Mr Mingma, who is also an advisor to the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

Mr Keck, the international mountain guide, echoed the same message, saying the idea will help to clean up the mountain.

Ropes and ladders left behind by climbers are collected and brought back, but human excrement remains on the mountains

Nepal's central government has announced several mountaineering rules in the past but there has been criticism that many of them have not been properly implemented.

One of the main reasons is the absence of liaison officers on the ground. Government officials are supposed to be with expedition teams at the base camps but many of them have been criticised for not showing up.

"The state has always been missing at base camps leading to all kinds of irregularities including people climbing our mountains without permits," Mr Mingma, chairman of the Pasang Lhamu rural municipality, says.

"This will all change now. We will run a contact office and make sure our new measures, including making climbers bring back their excrement, are implemented."
