Nepal is taking mountain cleanups to new heights—literally! Starting next month, Chinese-made DJI drones will collect garbage from some of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Ama Dablam and Mount Qomolangma. 🌍🏔️ The initiative, backed by a recent agreement between local authorities and tech firm Airlift, aims to tackle waste left by mountaineers and protect fragile ecosystems.
Think of it as a high-tech clean-up mission straight out of a sci-fi game 🎮: These drones can fly at altitudes above 8,000 meters, transporting trash from remote slopes where traditional methods fall short. Airlift will provide free drone services for two years, with officials eyeing expansion to other peaks during the 2024 climbing season.
This isn’t DJI’s first Himalayan rodeo 🤖—their drones aced delivery tests on Mount Qomolangma earlier this year, proving their worth for rescue ops and eco-projects. Now, they’re swapping supply drops for garbage pickups. Who said drones were just for selfies?
