The sixth-highest mountain in the world, named Cho Oyu, is Tibetan for “Turquoise Goddess.” A modest 20 kilometers to the west of Everest, the mountain is situated on the boundary of Nepal, Tibet, and China. The Cho Oyu Expedition is one of the most appealing expeditions since climbers can see Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and many other peaks from the summit.

Compared to the other eight-thousanders, the peak at 8201 meters (26906 ft) above sea level is reasonably safe for climbing. Climbers who participate in the expedition can see panoramic views of the Himalayas and other natural attractions and learn about the rich Sherpa culture.

Cho Oyu may be reached from both the northwest ridge in Tibet and the south and north-east faces on the Nepalese side. However, the most well-known and comparatively more straightforward approach to the top of Cho Oyu is via the northwest ridge.
