Cho Oyu, which means The Turquoise Goddess is known as the sixth highest mountain in the world, located a short distance to the west from the world's highest mountain, the Everest and the fourth highest, the Lhotse in the Khumbu region of Eastern Nepal along the Tibetan border. Its one of the towering peak that stands with Everest well above the surrounding mountains. Cho Oyu became a familiar landmark to climbers ascending Everest's north face. Just west of Cho Oyu is the Nangpa La, a 19,000-foot glacier pass, the main trade route between the Khumbu Sherpas and Tibet. Cho Oyu's proximity to the Nangpa La has earned it the distinction among some climbers as being the easiest 8,000 meter peak. It was the third such peak climbed, and the first climbed in Autumn. It was first climbed on October 19th 1954 by the Austrian Herbert Tichy, with Sepp Jochler and Pasang Dava Lama. Cho Oyu is 8201m. high and was first climbed by Austrian 1954. The Indian and German team also did ascent to this peak in 1958 and 1964 respectively. Till to date many expedition teams have reached on its summit. Most of the Cho Oyu expedition teams climb the peak via Tibet side due the easy technique through the Tibet. Since 1999, our company “Elbruz Treks and Expedition" is also conducting the expedition via this same Tibet side. |
