Cho Oyu Expedition
The Cho Oyu expedition is one of the most popular expeditions in Nepal among the Eight-Thousanders due to its highest rate of success via the Tibet side. Mt. Cho Oyu is the world’s 6th highest mountain with an elevation of 8,201 meters above sea level which lies 20km west of Mt. Everest on the Nepal-Tibet border. For those mountain dreamers who wish to climb one of the eight-thousander mountains, the Mt. Cho Oyu expedition is perfect for you! The standard route climbs the Nangpa La, the ancient trading route to Nepal which is the northwest face of Tibet. With a few small technical sections, the trail up to the summit is short and straightforward and can be summited using fixed lines. The drive will offer the vistas of green meadows, river gorges, snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and diverse flora and fauna while crossing the ancient valleys of Tibet Nyalam, Tingri, and Zhangmu. You will witness the breathtaking views of Mt. Everest at 8,848m, Mt. Xishapagma at 8,012m, Mt. Cho Oyu at 8,201m, and others. Discover the Tibetan ancient Buddhist culture, exotic cities, hidden valleys, and old monasteries via the Cho Oyu expedition with the Real Sherpa Adventures team. We provide highly experienced trekking guides, as well as a comfortable trekking itinerary in the Himalayan lands.
Who Can Climb Mount Cho Oyu?
Even intermediate climbers who wish to accomplish one of the eight-thousanders mountains can climb Mount Cho Oyu. The route is composed of snow hills with small ice sectors and rock scrambling. The Mt. Cho Oyu expedition is considered the most accessible climbing peak compared to all the other peaks over 8,000 meters of elevation because of its hazardless climbing trail with little objective danger. Though the trail is non-technical, prior climbing experience at least over 6,000 meters of elevation like Island Peak, Lobuche Peak, or Mera Peak is mandatory. Before climbing the summit, we provide training in climbing techniques such as using fixed lines while ascending and descending. However, the climbers must have a basic knowledge of climbing. Climbers in sound physical, mental, and psychological health can summit Mt. Cho Oyu.
The Trekking Route to Mt. Cho Oyu Summit!
The actual trekking route to Mt. Cho Oyu summit begins at the Chinese Base Camp. Mount Cho Oyu is comprised of five points: West, Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast, with the Jabula Glacier on the north, the Lanba Glacier in the south, and the Gecongba Glacier. To reach this base camp, we take a flight to Lhasa from Kathmandu International airport. Arriving at Lhasa, we will drive towards Shigatse, Xegar, and then the Chinese Base Camp. We will move closer to the camp by acclimatizing to the higher altitude and exploring the popular tourist attractions of Tibet such as Potala Palace, Norbulingka Palace, the Tibetan Museum, and the Shalu Monastery. From the Chinese base camp, we will trace our steps toward the Cho Oyu base camp.
At the camp, we will spend long days on climbing preparation and altitude acclimatization. From the Cho Oyu base camp, we first climb to Camp I at 6,400m via the Gyabrag Glacier and then up steep rock to a broad snow shoulder. Reaching Camp I, we follow the snow ridge to a steep 50-meter ice wall using the fixed ropes to reach Camp II at 7,100. Climbing onward to Camp III at 7,400m, most of the climbers will feel the effect of the altitude. From Camp III to reach the summit of Mt. Cho Oyu, you will follow an easy snow and rock trail. Later, we will descend to the Chinese Base Camp following the same trail.
