Nepal plans to use China-built drones for waste collection on high-altitude mountains, including Mount Ama Dablam, following successful tests on Mount Qomolangma.

Nepal will use China-built DJI drones to collect waste from high-altitude mountains, including Mount Ama Dablam, starting next month. The initiative follows successful drone delivery tests on Mount Qomolangma in April, which opened possibilities for high-altitude mountaineering, emergency rescues, and environmental protection operations. A memorandum of understanding was signed between the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality, and Airlift Technology Pvt. Ltd., with free drone service offered for two years.
