(The sixth highest Peak
in the World)

Take part in the Namaste Adventure Cho Oyu Expedition. Cho
Oyu is the 6th highest peak in the world (8201
meters) and is part of the Greater Himalaya,
where the central Asia plateau meets the Indian
subcontinent. Located on the Tibet and Nepal
border, you will have a chance to experience
the local Tibetan culture.
Our Cho Oyu expedition will fly to the ancient
capital city of Tibet, Lhasa, once home to the
14th Dalai Lama who fled to India in 1959 due
to the Chinese Invasion. While acclimatizing
our group will tour many of the Tibetan Buddhist
monasteries and palaces as we journey to Cho
Oyu base camp. We will take an alternative overland
route back to Kathmandu via Zhangmu. |
First summitted in 1954 by a small
Austrian/Tibetan expedition, Cho Oyu is technically
easier than most other “8000ers,”
making it a great first 8000-meter peak for climbers
with previous high altitude climbing experience.
We will climb Cho Oyu via the West Ridge/West
Face, which has two short technical sections.
Advanced Base Camp (ABC) will be established at
5800 meters (19,024 feet), Camp I at 6500 meters,
Camp II at 7100 meters (23,288 feet), and Camp
III at 7400 meters (24,272 feet).
The Tibetan folktale of Cho Oyu (meaning Turquoise
God) is that he fell in love with the Goddess
Chomolungma (Everest), who later married her closer
neighbor to the southeast, Makalu. Cho Oyu never
married and he now faces the opposite way of Chomolungma.
|
The expedition will start in Kathmandu,
Nepal. We will meet at our Nepal office to get our
paperwork together, organize our gear, and enjoy the
local customs & culture of Kathmandu before flying
to Lhasa. We take a spectacular route from Lhasa to
the village of Tingri, our final rugged and rural
village before Cho Oyu base camp. We spend two nights
at base camp before we hire yaks to transport our
expedition supplies to ABC. On this two day journey
we will cross rivers, and hike over rocky moraine
before we arrive at ABC, “our base camp”
for 4 weeks.
