Cho Oyu Expedition (8188m)

27 Days February-May and late September- December Tibet
Description:

Cho Oyu, meaning the “Turquoise Goddess” in Tibetan names the sixth highest mountain in the world standing at the height of 8,188 meters in the westernmost part of the Khumbu Region. Lying within the Malangur Himalaya Range, 20 km west of Mt. Everest, Mt Cho Oyu stands on the border of Nepal and China. Initially, it was considered as the seventh-highest peak at 8150 meters but later new measurements showed that it was actually the sixth highest at 8,188m.

Cho Oyu is considered the easiest peak among the 8000 meters with the lowest death-summit ratio. The normal route to Cho Oyu is through the Northwest Ridge which is moderately sloppy and lies near to the Nangpa La Pass. The expedition is carried out from the Tibet side because of the relatively comfortable climbing route.

The first ascent was made by Herbert Tichy, Joseph Jochler and Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama of an Austrian expedition on 19th October 1954. It is the second-most climbed 8000er after Everest. Marketed as a trekking peak, suitable for those with good physical fitness yet low mountaineering experience, it does attract a huge number of climbers every year.
