Cho Oyu Expedition in Nepal
Trip Overivew
Cho Oyu Expedition in Nepal is a very beautiful mountain in Tibet. For anyone who has ever dreamed of climbing one of the world’s highest 8201meter mountains, Cho Oyu offers relatively easy access. Despite being the 6th highest mountain on the planet, Cho Oyu has the highest success rate among the world’s fourteen 8,201meter Himalayan peaks. The ascent to the summit is short and direct with a few small technical sections which can be climbed safely using fixed lines. The normal route may not be called a technically difficult and riskier climb. The access becomes easier also because of the fact that the mountain can be reached by four-wheel-drive vehicle and one can walk to Camp 1 in hiking boots. However, climbing Cho Oyu is still a demanding undertaking, the mountain being one of the highest on earth.
Cho Oyu Expedition in Nepal is very interesting climbing in Nepal. It’s hard to climb but amazing climbing. Cho Oyu lies around 35km west of Mt. Everest on the Nepal-Tibet border.
