Cho
Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world, has only
recently become a popular mountain to climb. It is known
to be one of the easer of the world's fourteen 8,000 meter
mountain. Cho Oyu sits on both sides of the border of
Nepal and Tibet, about 30 km. west of Mount Everest. It
is the sixth highest mountain in the world (8201 meters).
Cho Oyu is translated in Tibetan as "the goddess
of the turquoise." The south face of Cho Oyu, facing
Nepal, is quite steep and difficult, and is rarely climbed.
The north side of the mountain, accessed from Tibet, is
more moderate, and there is a relatively safe route to
the summit. In the autumn of 1954, an Austrian team made
the first ascent via this route.
Most of the Cho Oyu expedition teams climb the peak via
Tibet side due the easy technique through the Tibet. Skyline
Treks and Expedition is also conducting the expedition
via this same Tibet side. A number of Himalayan peaks
from 6000m. & more lie in Tibet sides which are open
for foreign climbers. Our Company is fully organized to
make available any logistical support of any kind of expeditions.
You'll hone your ability to climb and stay healthy at
extreme altitude and also learn the techniques of climbing
with an oxygen system. We also include a great trek option
for those wanting to experience the beauty and challenge
of the Himalaya without requiring any technical climbing
skills.
