Overview
Mt. Cho Oyu Expedition (North West Ridge) is one of the greatest expeditions in the Everest Region. The mountain lies in the Khumbu sub-section of the Mahalangur Himalaya. Mt.Cho Oyu (8,201m/26,906ft) is the sixth-highest mountain in the world and one of the Eight-thousander. Mt. Cho Oyu Expedition is highly advised for climbers looking for expertise and knowledge before climbing Mt. Everest.
Mt. Cho Oyu Expedition Trip Overview:
It is the most accessible of the highest mountains in the world due to its relative ease of access, lack of obvious risks, and usually straightforward topography. Climbing Mt. Cho Oyu is a serious effort that calls for fitness, good health, climbing expertise, and self-sufficiency from those considering it, just like every other Eight-thousander. The expedition departs from Lukla.
The path to the Cho Oyu base camp involves primarily low-angle snow slopes, with one brief but extremely steep part at 6,400m to go over a Serac barrier. During the summit, we will set up three different camps, the highest, at 7,500 meters will serve as the starting point for the summit and can be reached in 5-8 hours under typical circumstances.

Itinerary
Our agent will meet you at the airport and transport you to the hotel. Upon arrival, you will receive your kit bag, which will include a sleeping bag and a down jacket. We will have a task to check the Individual equipment and gears in the afternoon. A pre-trek briefing will be presented in the evening. You'll get a fantastic opportunity to get acquainted with your other group members before heading out to dinner.
We will have time throughout these days to tour the bazaars, stores, and monasteries of this wonderful city. Everyone's climbing gear will be inspected by the expedition leader as well, and any deficiencies can be filled in Kathmandu. The Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu will also issue Chinese Visas permitting entry to Tibet.
Following breakfast at your accommodation in Kathmandu, you will leave early for the approximately five-hour trip to Kodari (1873m). We will drive up a hill to Zhangmu after completing immigration and customs requirements (2300m). This is a border town in Tibet. At the checkpoint, the Tibetan Guide will welcome the group. We will then drive farther uphill on the route to Nyalam, where we will spend the night. You will pass by an amazing vista of a deep valley with several rushing waterfalls.
After breakfast, we will drive to Nyalam. After arriving in Nyalam, we will have an entire day to relax. Overnight at Nylam.
You will have a complete day to enjoy your day at Nyalam and have a fantastic acclimatization day. It is absolutely essential that you spend a day in Nyalam for your safety and proper acclimatization.
We will take a drive to Tingri (about 5–6 hours), over two breathtaking passes; Lalung La Pass and Nyalam Pass (3800 m) (5082m). The high mountains, including Mount Everest (8848m), Jugal Himal, Mt. Makalu (8464m), and others will be beautifully visible from this drive. Afternoon in Tingri.
We will arrive at the road's beginning and the Chinese base camp after a few hours of walk. After leaving Xegar, we will travel south along the unsteady road until we reach the route's beginning below Cho Oyu.
This day will be crucial for organizing all of the loads for the yaks to transport. Our yaks will arrive in the afternoon. We will prepare for the carry-on on tomorrow's first leg to base camp.
We will hike up the lengthy valley to base camp while pulling yaks that are carrying the expedition's supplies. Before moving on to base camp, we will spend three nights at intermediate camps at 5,200 and 5,450 meters. When we eventually reach base camp, which will serve as our residence for the rest of the climb, the advantages of our acclimatization camp will be much appreciated. On day 15, we will arrive at base camp early. You can spend the day preparing our climbing supplies for the ascent.
We will undertake our first, hesitant trip and exploration of the mountain's base on the first day. To acquire a clear view of the path and the mountain's conditions, the goal will be to ascend as high as possible. We will not carry anything, and our evening plans include a trip back to base camp. We will ascend higher up the mountain as our fitness and acclimatization will be improved with the goal of arriving. We will be spending the night at both Camp 1 and Camp 2. We will prepare well for the last leg of the climb, thanks to this. The Sherpas will finish setting up the high camp at 7,400 meters before the summit bids, which will come after a decent period of rest at base camp. All climbers should return to base camp on day 40 once the mountain has been emptied of its gear. Everyone will need to pitch in during base camp cleanup to make sure we leave no traces of our passing. We will depart from base camp ahead of schedule if we are successful in ascending the summit early. As soon as everyone has completed a determined summit climb, we will return to Kathmandu. All past experience has shown that we won't need all of the days given unless the mountain conditions are really good and everyone acclimatizes exceptionally well.
Yaks will carry our gear as we make the return hike to the trailhead. We'll find our road transportation waiting for us. We will spend our final night in the tents.
Although it is possible to travel to Kathmandu in 7 to 9 hours with decent roads and no snow blocking the passes, we have budgeted for 2 days in case of delays and any unpredictable conditions. We will intend to drive to Kerung and spend the night on the first day.
Your Tibetan guide and driver will bid you goodbye. You will walk across the river to meet a Nepalese escort before continuing the journey to Kathmandu. This morning, a short drive from Kerung will take you to the Friendship Bridge across the Bhote Koshi River, which will bring you closer to immigration control. You will arrive in Kathmandu after a 6- to 7-hour drive. Spend the remainder of the time relaxing at the hotel.
On this beautiful day, you can spend the entire day at your leisure on your own. You can also choose to extend your extra excursion with us for an additional fee or use the opportunity to explore Thamel for your final day of shopping before the group meets you for the farewell supper.
You will have a day free to do any last-minute souvenir or gift purchasing for family, friends, or relatives before your departure flight or drive. You can also choose to start any further adventures or activities you may have planned with us. You will be transferred to the international airport if you are departing in order to catch a flight to another location.
