Cho Oyu Expedition
Cho Oyu (8201m) is one of the three eight thousand meter peaks in the Khumbu Himal, the others being Mt Everest and Lhotse.Cho Oyu mountaineering expedition thus partakes of the scenic glories and adventure that other mountaineering expeditions in Nepal, especially in Khumbu bring you. The mountain is approached from Nepal side after an exciting and adventure trek through Everest region. You can also choose easier, more comfortable, and quicker approach to the mountain via Tibet. In this case, we drive through Kathmandu to Tibet via Kodari Highway and drive to the road-head, and reach the base of the mountain in a day’s trek. But the approach to the mountain through Nepali side includes remarkable trek in the Everest region through Lukla and this also helps in acclimatization.
The Khumbu Himal is a section of the Mahalangur Himalayan range, the world’s most rugged, most spectacular Himalayan range with the world’s four tallest peaks (Mt Makalu is the easternmost 8 thusander in this range). Not surprisingly, Khumbu region, also known as the Everest region, is the Mecca for the lovers of adventure treks, and mountaineering expeditions. In Everest region alone, the skyline is an unusual concentration of three dozen 6,000 meters, nearly two dozen 7,000 meters, plus the three eight thousanders along with glaciers, glacier lakes, high passes, gorges, ravines and waterfalls emanating from these numerous mountains. Therefore, a climbing expedition in Everest region brings you a superb combination of adventure trekking and mountaineering with undreamt of high Himalayan panorama.
Technically, Cho Oyu is sometimes regarded as the easiest 8000 meter peak to climb, thanks to its gentle north-western face. However climbers need to be physically fit and have enough mountaineering training. Magnificent Himalayan Treks & Expedition gives utmost attention to the safety of the climbers, with top-class gears and experienced Sherpa guides. While Cho Oyu ascent is a glory in itself, you can use the experience to attempt the other peaks over 8000 peaks.
