Mt. Cho Oyu dominates the skyline at 8201m above sea level and is the sixth highest mountain in the world. It is not only an 8000-meter mountain but also a magnificently beautiful mountain. Cho Oyu Expedition brings an adventure opportunity to climb to the top of this beautiful mountain in the Himalayas.
In the Tibetan language, Cho Oyu translates to “Turquoise Goddess”. The mountain lies in the center of the Tibetan and Nepalese Himalayas. Mt. Cho Oyu radiates its beauty in such a way that it undermines other towering Himalayan Peaks like Everest, Ama Dablam, and others that neighbor it. Every year this mesmerizing energy calls forward thousands of adventurers and mountaineers from all around the globe.
Mt Cho Oyu was first summited in 1954 by Herbert Tichy, Sepp Jocher, and Pasang Dawa Sherpa Lama. Among all the fourteen highest peaks that tower over 8000m, Cho Oyu is one of the easiest peaks to climb. Cho Oyu is ideal for novice climbers who are keen to learn the art of mountain climbing. It can also be an ideal preparation expedition for your future expeditions like Everest Expedition.
The summit though physically demanding is not technically challenging due to the presence of fixed lines. It offers one of the easiest and safest climbing experiences in the Himalayas with the highest chance of summit. This straight forward climbing experience is also suitable for experienced climbers looking for a quick adventure.
The months between March to May during Spring are the best months for this climbing expedition as it allows enough time for proper acclimatization, several returns to base camp as well as rest days for the perfect ascent.

Security for our clients is always a foremost priority for us. All our guides and other support crew are carefully chosen for your trips. Our guides hold licenses issued by the Nepal Government. They are very honest and reliable. But we would also advise you to take care of your own personal belongings. If you are on ‘camping treks’ please do not leave your bags unattended at any time for your own safety. Take your main bag inside the tent once you reach the campsite. At night, all bags and belongings are kept in the middle of the tent. Your guide assigns a Sherpa on a rotation basis to guard the campsite throughout the night. If you are on a ‘Tea house or GAP trek’ arrangement, you will be sleeping in local teahouses. You need to take sensible precautions yourself at all times. Never leave your baggage unattended and keep your lodge room locked when you go out.
