Overview

Mount Cho Oyu is the sixth-highest mountain in the world, rising 8,188 meters (26,864 feet) above sea level on the border between Nepal and China. Mt. Cho Oyu is widely considered the most accessible and achievable of the 8,000-meter peaks, typically cost starting from $25,500.

Our Cho Oyu expedition route transverses first driving all the way to the Cho Oyu Base Camp, crossing the Nepalese Border, and continuing via Nyalam and Tingri. The way to Cho Oyu Base Camp involves a normal drive at high altitude, but rewards with powerful views of Cho Oyu (8,201m) to the north. Further will be the realm of the glaciers, surrounded by the unforgettable presence of the world's mightiest mountains.

We set up the Advanced Base Camp and then three high camps in the mountain. Thereafter starts our main attempt to scale the summit (8,201m). The expedition will be supported by very experienced staff and climbing guides. We supply world-class mountaineering tents also for the high camps to our climbers. Makalu Adventure has many success rates in Cho Oyu Expedition. If you are quite courageous and love adventure, you may also give a try for Everest Expedition from Tibet or Shishapangma Expedition
