Less climbers welcome on Everest? - Everest Region, Nepal Travel Blog
The glaciers on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau are shrinking fast because of global warming. Carbon emissions on the mountain can cause further irreparable damage not only to the glaciers, but also the entire ecological balance.
Precisely because of that, the bureau made it mandatory in 2003 for all vehicles carrying tourists and mountaineers not to venture beyond the Rongbuk Monastery, from where animal-drawn carriages carry them to higher altitudes.
This has a two-fold effect: low carbon emission and employment generation for the local people.
