Cho Oyu Expedition
Trip Overview
Climbing Cho Oyu, one of the world's highest mountains, is an excellent introduction to high-altitude Himalayan climbing that rewards the climbers with a spectacular view of the mighty Mount Everest and the surrounding peaks. Mount Cho Oyu means 'Goddess of Turquoise' in Tibetan. It is also known as 'Mighty Head,' which translates to 'god's head.'
Cho Oyu is the world's sixth-highest peak and the most accessible of the fourteen 8,000-meter peaks. The climbing is tough, and a good level of fitness is required, but Cho Oyu is an excellent peak for those who want to feel the thin air at 8,000 meters for the first time. Cho Oyu is located in the Tibetan/Nepalese Himalayas and provides climbers with vistas of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and hundreds of other Himalayan peaks. Climbers on the Cho Oyu climbing expedition are exposed to Tibet's historic culture. Standing on the border of Nepal and Tibet, the summit offers views that are as spectacular as the name suggests.
The Cho Oyu Expedition is less technically demanding than the other 8,000-meter summits, making it an ideal stepping stone to the major high-altitude challenges of Everest or the more technical 8,000-meter mountains. This makes it the world's second-most-climbed eight-thousander, following Mount Everest. Climbers are further encouraged by the fact that the majority of attempts result in reaching Cho Oyu's peak. In fact, of all the 8,000-meter summits, it has the best success rate.
