CHO OYU EXPEDITION

The Cho Oyu Expedition is a serious undertaking that needs meticulous planning and readiness. The Cho Oyu Expedition presents trekkers with a wonderful chance to enhance their exposure to greater ascents. The Cho Oyu Expedition is hugely advisable as an initial 8,000m mountain top expedition or as advancement to a pursuit on an expedition to the Everest. As the world’s sixth highest peak, a Cho Oyu Expedition will also require that climbers have a high level of robustness and good shape. While the Cho Oyu Expedition is considered as technically simple 8000 meter ascend, anyone who want to on the Cho Oyu Expedition ought to have been to at least 6000 meters before.

THE CHO OYU EXPEDITION IS ACHIEVABLE

The Cho Oyu Expedition is achievable for moderate climbers who have never climbed an 8000 meter. The Cho Oyu Expedition will take you to the very essence of Tibetan and Nepalese Himalayas and will provide you with a picturesque view of the Everest, the Lhotse, and the Ama Dablam as well as scores of additional Himalayan peaks. The Cho Oyu Expedition is a great revelation to the archaic Tibetan way of life for climbers. The Cho Oyu Expedition route consists of steep snow paths and some brief portions have ice and scrabbles of rock.

ENGAGEMENT OF PROFESSIONAL SHERPAS ON THE CHO OYU EXPEDITION
On the Cho Oyu Expedition professional Sherpas are engaged not only to transport cargo and make prior camping arrangements but also guide on the Mountains and this is a huge help in the likelihood of the Cho Oyu Expedition becoming a success. Another important aspect of the Cho Oyu Expedition is the process of acclimatization to the harsh weather conditions. In general, the Cho Oyu Expedition is quite an extraordinary ascent that requires all the necessary apparatus and being with professional climbers who know what they are doing will be quite a comfort.
