Cho Oyu Expedition in Nepal, Cho Oyu (8201m.) is the 6^th highest mountain in the world and 7^th highest of Nepal’s mountains. It is one of the easy accessed mountains for mountain expedition. The trail of this mountain is very easy to climb at its summit. The tantalizing Himalaya lies next to Mt. Everest in the Khumbu region between Mt. Everest and Mt. Lhotse.

Mt. Cho Oyu is one of the easiest mountains among fourteen other 8 thousanders all over the world. It is climbed more than 500 times after it was first conquered by Herbert Tichi, an Austrian citizen in 19^th October, 1954. The success of the climbers to summit the mountains is because of its easy ascending trail of the expedition.

Cho Oyu is relatively easier expedition in comparison to other mountains over 8000m.in technical and geographical aspects. Climber needs experience of high mountaineering and skill of climbing too. West face of the mountain is favorably used because it has two short technical sections to reach at the top. The summit includes Nangpa La Pass. This pass is used as the route of Khumbu people for trading with Tibetans.

Cho Oyu means in Tibetan language “The Turquoise God”. According to the folktale of Khumbu people, Cho Oyu fell in love with the Goddess Chomolungma (Tibetan name of Mt. Everest). But Chomolungma got married with Mt. Makalu. Being sad by the act of Chomalungma, Cho Oyu never married and thus it faces opposite of the Chomolungma i.e. Cho Oyu is opposite of the Mt. Everest.

Cho Oyu expedition provides the opportunity to explore Cho Oyu National Park and its beautiful view around there. The trek to Advanced Base Camp and further three base camps are set before climbing the top of the summit. It needs special permit for the expedition members to climb Cho Oyu before starting the expedition. The expedition can be carried by anyone who is physically healthy and fit. Climber should have experience of high altitude mountain climbing to make successful expedition. It needs enough acclimatization while expediting the peak.

would very much like to sincerely recommend A Nepal trek company and a best manager named Mr. Y.B.Pant[Rajendra]. This is my third trip to Nepal and took a service with well known guide Mr Rajendra. We were very proud because he has been starting his a nice operation company with almost nearly 20 years experience of his guiding with some thousands of tourists from world. He provides us a good guide and a porter. Guide[Surya] was a real discovery! we took 17 days trek to “Throng-la pass 5416m” or known as “Annapurna circuit”. He is one of the most knowledgeable guide with friendly nature and of-course, me very strong impression by his great service. So, this year, I decided to do again something genuine with this Trekking company, Although, if you are planning a trip to Nepal, please do not miss your chance to observe the best respectful business way of life and get life-time memory from Nepal. No, many others agency will be able to find a proper guide on field. True they were became a real friend of mine for long & long…….

Estimado y querido Rajendra,

el viaje que nos organizaste por Nepal fue simplemente espectacular. Tu organización fue perfecta, tanto de los hoteles como en los pueblos que fuimos parando durante la vuelta al Annapurna. Tu conocimiento del lugar nos facilitó mucho las cosas, tu asesoramiento con respecto a la altura, que hizo que ninguno del grupo tuviera problemas. Tu calidez y simpatía hizo que dejáramos a un verdadero amigo en Nepal.
Todos tenemos ganas de volver, porque sabemos en quién confiar y conociendo ahora la maravilla que es tu país y sugente.

Otra vez muchas gracias por todo este evento inolvidable para nosotros.

Abrazo, Agustín.
