Highlights

Overview

Cho Oyu (8201m) is the 6th highest mountain in the world lying at the border of China( Tibet) and Nepal west to the  Mt. Everest (8848m). Cho Oyu literally translates to Turquoise Goddess. The first attempt on Cho Oyu ascent which turned out to be successful happened in 1954 by Austrian expedition conquered it via the North-west ridge. Amazing Nepal Journey offers  from Tibet site with fully successful expedition.
Autumn is the best time of the year for Cho Oyu Expedition or any mountain expedition for that matter in the Himalayas. There are moderate technical sections and the objective dangers are close to non-existent. Its relatively easy access makes it an attractive climb for someone with limited time, as it can be attempted in roughly 6 weeks round trip. Base Camp is accessible by jeep and it is possible to reach Kathmandu  from Base Camp.
Because of it's ease of access, ABC is often crowded with a large number of expeditions.
It was the third such peak climbed, and the first climbed by light expedition and in Autumn. The mountain was first climbed on October 19, 1954 via the north-west ridge by Herbert Tichy, Joseph Jöchler and Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama of an Austrian expedition. Cho Oyu is sixth 8000 meters peak to be climbed, after Annapurna in June 1950, Mount Everest, Nanga Parbat and K2.
