Mount Everest has suffered increasing pollution over decades, with climbers leaving behind not only garbage, but also fluorescent tents, empty gas canisters and human excrement.

The "Everest Cleaning Campaign" began on April 14 and is to run for 45 days, according to The Hindu news website. The team has been set a target of bringing back 10 tonnes of trash.

Team members will climb up as high as Camp 4, situated at 7,950 meters (26,080 feet), in their search for garbage.
