What makes the video special is that it captures how the cameraperson launched the drone after scaling the mountain. The video also gives one a glimpse of what it is like to climb Everest.


The two-minute, 16-second video shared by Goenka has been viewed over 93,000 times. Commenting on the undated video, a Twitter user wrote, “What spectacular visuals..How the new age technology helps in exploring wonders from nature..”. A netizen jokingly remarked, “So the drone can now say I climbed Mount Everest.”

In recent years, the way leading to Everest has been littered with trash such as plastic bottles, cans, food wrappers, kitchen waste, discarded oxygen cylinders and more. In 2021, when Covid-19 induced travel restrictions spotted the flow of foreign mountaineers, a group of climbers in Nepal spent 47 days collecting and cleaning over 2.2 tonnes of garbage scattered around Mount Everest base camp. A video of their cleaning efforts went viral and received much appreciation from around the world.
