Looks enticing, right? Makes you wish to start planning a trek to this place already? Well, I HOPE NOT!

Before you start fantasizing your next #wanderlust Instagram post and pack your bags with a million packs of Cheetos and Frooties and Hajmolas, here is something you ought to know -

While most of the stone-padded treks normally look like this -

What we not see are these clumps of plastic-refuse that are cursed to contaminate these heaven-like landmasses till when the next Beatles will arrive (read eternity) —

Allow me to quote the hive mind—“But I always dump my plastics into litter bins whenever I visit any secluded tourist space as I care about the nature and the hills and because I want to live long enough to watch a solo Kenobi movie”

Well, do I have some bad news for you.

Just like those fan-made Kenobi trailers, this claim of preserving the hills is also a moot. When you release your plastics into a bin, that actually adds nothing to the preservation.

Due to the lack of resources, the natives have to dump the plastic-waste into these man-sized landfills. Hence, whatever you leave at your trek, your resort room, or your transport vehicle, (most of it) ends up inside one of these landfills.
