Clean Everest 360°

We envision a clean Everest, where nature and people coexist in harmony, each giving back to the other.

Rooted in Tibetan ancestral values of care and balance, our project seeks to restore this sacred relationship between humans and the mountain.

10 Years in Tibet, Now in Nepal

Since 2012, Clean Everest has developed an operational high-altitude waste management model. First implemented on the Tibetan side of Mount Everest, the success initiative demonstrated that sustainable governance is possible above 8,000 metres. Today, this proven model is being adapted to Nepal through cross-border cooperation.

75 open waste-burning sites release harmful pollutants into the air and water.

Over 2 billion people depend on Himalayan freshwater
