Thousands of people visit Nepal’s southern Everest Base Camp, at 5,380 meters above the sea, each year. Trekkers’ go past staying for a night, while mountaineers stay for several days or weeks before climbing Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world standing at 8,848 meters above sea level. Everest Base Camp is a temporary settlement, sometimes called ‘the tent city’. A lot of rubbish is left behind and it has been a worry over the last 20 years.
The mountain is located on the border between China and Nepal. While it is the tallest mountain in the world, its not the furthest summit from the center of the Earth. I believe that building a structure increases the amount of tourists and makes climbing the mountain less dangerous.
If you build a permanent structure on Everest Base Camp, it would be very hard to build it but …show more content…
Brick would probably be better because it would last longer and is stronger than wood. Also you would need to bring up some supplies to build the facilities. If I built it I would include bathrooms, beds, heating, water, a kitchen, storage and a nice comfortable living room.
Since a lot of different people climb Mount Everest for different reasons, they all have different opinions on whether the government should build a permanent structure on the mountain. For example, Porters want a permanent structure because they don’t want to carry everything from the beginning. If there is a good storage in the structure, then the Porters can pick stuff up from the structure. On the other hand, Sagamatha National Park Officers do not want a permanent structure because it would require a lot of maintenance and it is very hard to get stuff up the mountain.
Some of the other groups that support the idea are Trekkers, Mountaineers, Doctors, Ecologists and Glaciologists. Some of the groups how do not support the idea are Sherpas and Himalayan Trust
