Mount Cho Oyu Expedition
(8201m.) |
 Cho Oyu is the sixth highest Himalayan peak and
one of the most beautiful mountains of the world, which means
Turquoise Goddess in Tibetan. It is one of the prominent
Himalayan peaks for mountaineering expeditions. It has a great
history of mountaineering right from the time when many
mountaineers were trying their luck of Everest. The date was on
19th October, 1954 Herbert Tichy, Sepp Jocher and Pasang Dawa
Sherpa Lama (Austrian Expedition) had conquered to reach on top
of Mt. Cho Oyu. There was an interesting fact about the
expedition that bottled oxygen was not used. From that time
onwards, more that 500 mountaineers have conquered successfully
on top. Most of them have climbed from the Tibet side because
the mountain is steep on the Nepal side but it looks fairly
plain towards the Tibet side. The mountain was also endeavored
by the well-known mountaineer Shipton in 1952. |

Our
Cho Oyu expedition will take you through normal
route. We drive to Chinese Base Camp where few
days will be spend for the acclimatize purpose.
Acclimatization is very important. We then move
to Advance Base Camp (5700meter) and set the
camp there. ABC is our main camp for entire
climbing period. The climb then will be
following through Camp I (6400meter), Camp II
(7125meter), Camp III (7550meter) and on to
summit (8201meter).
Sort of days will spend moving up
and down between Advance Base Camp, Camp I and
Camp II to acclimatize you properly. Once we are
acclimatized then push on up to Camp III where a
night will be spending. After a night spends at
Camp III then we continue our attempt to
summit. |
