A bottle of coke in 5 yuan, Mount Everest, is it a dream mountain for tourists or a profit mountain for businesses now?

The sky-high price of coke on Mount Everest has aroused heated discussion. Some people say that it is a dream mountain for climbers, while others say that it is already a profitable mountain for businesses. In fact, I think that Mount Everest is still the same, but people have changed. In the early years, the purpose of people climbing Mount Everest was pure, and they climbed with personal and national glory. But now, climbing Mount Everest has become an industry, and some people rely on this industry to make a living.

There is no place to stay on the south slope of Mount Everest now. It can be said that anyone who has money can come to the south slope of Mount Everest. There is a local organization similar to a tour group in Kathmandu to help people climb Mount Everest. Of course, the price is also very expensive. As the title says, just a bottle of coke costs only a few dollars in Kathmandu, but when it is shipped to Mount Everest, it costs 5 yuan, which can be said to be "sky-high coke".

Since there is basically no threshold to climb Mount Everest now, anyone who has money can go there, and there are often "traffic jams" on Mount Everest. For example, several girls are not physically fit and can't get on, but the people behind them can't "overtake", so they can only be stuck in traffic for a long time. People only care about climbing, and businesses only care about making money, but no one pays attention to the present environment of Mount Everest.

In fact, Mount Everest is no longer as clean and pure as it used to be. On the way up the mountain, there are human excrement and many bodies. Because of the harsh environment, climbers just want to come back alive, and they don't care about other people's bodies, let alone take them down the mountain. But there are also some non-profit organizations in Kathmandu, trying to bring down the garbage on Mount Everest. This task is really a long way to go!
