2. There is an estimation that over ten metric tonnes of wastes are collected on and around Mt.Everest. Waste is the main problem on the Himalayas.
Reasons for tourists to worry when they travel in India
1. India’s infrastructure is less when compared to developed countries as it is still a developing country, the tourist may face little problems while they travel in non-metropolitan areas in India.
2. India being a rapid economically growing nation with lots of poverty. Beggers are the main problem for tourists traveling around India. They present everywhere including essential monuments, railway stations, religious and spiritual sites, and shopping malls.
3. Sanitation and Hygiene is the main problem for foreign tourists. Most of our cities are highly crowded and keeping clean and hygiene is highly impossible.
4. In India, the main problem tourists face is being robbed. Thieves in India wait for the right opportunity to steal the foreigners whatever they have with them while traveling.
So we Indians should take some measures to tackle this problem with unity. Government has been supporting to clean India with many cleaning programs.
