The Research has shown that compared to normal days, the amount of waste in the tourist season suddenly increases so much that its obvious effects are visible. According to researchers, collecting real data in high mountain areas is certainly a difficult task, so this research relies only on available information.

Researchers believe that there is no systematic waste collection system in these areas. Solid Waste that was many years old was also found in most areas and tourist destinations. The marketing of plastic wrappers and companies in the garbage was an important proof of its antiquity.

Pakistan is the only country in the world with the highest number of glaciers in the world. About 300 of them have become extinct in the last ten years due to the effects of climate change. Researchers believe that such horrific effects point to one of the reasons the environment is affected.
