KATHMANDU: Seventy volunteers removed 55 sacks of waste from trekking routes around Pisang in Manang during a one-day cleanup campaign, covering ground from Swargadwari Bridge to Ngoro Danda and from Upper Pisang to the Pisang-Ghyaru Bridge.

The drive was organised by NTNC's Annapurna Conservation Area Project and drew participation from Conservation Area Management Committee members, mother groups, youth club members, local stakeholders, and ACAP staff, reflecting the kind of community-wide mobilisation that ACAP has built into its conservation model along the Annapurna Circuit.

Pisang sits on one of Nepal's most-walked trekking routes, and waste accumulation along high-traffic Himalayan trails has become a recurring concern for conservation managers and the tourism industry.
