A pilgrimage should leave a spiritual imprint, not a plastic one. But the Himalayas are increasingly bearing the burden of religious tourism. Kedarnath’s latest figures are a warning. The shrine generated 50.30 tonnes of waste between April and August — more than in any full year from 2023 to 2025. In contrast, nearly 5,000 pilgrims have carried over 12 tonnes of compressed plastic back down the 18-km trek under the ‘Carry Me Back’ campaign. The initiative deserves praise. It turns pilgrims into participants in conservation. But it cannot substitute for responsible tourism policy. The larger question is why so much waste reaches mountains. The problem extends beyond Kedarnath. More than 792 tonnes of waste had reportedly been collected during this year’s Char Dham pilgrimage by mid-September; with Hemkund Sahib and the Valley of Flowers, the figure crossed 800 tonnes. Plastic bottles, wrappers and disposables have been found above 3,000 metres. The lesson is unmistakable: the Himalayas are being treated as a consumption zone without adequate disposal capacity.
