16 reviewsMount Cho Oyu is the 6th tallest mountain on the planet. It's only the mountain over an altitude of 8000, which has such a high success rate and is situated between Nepal and Tibet but requires a permit to climb this beautiful peak known commonly as the Goddess of Turquoise. Many rise to this beautiful peak due to its easy climb and low fatality rate. The best route adoption the Northern route via the North West Face for the Cho Oyu Expedition Tibet face, an altitude of 8201 m, and the climb up to the Cho Oyu. It can’t merely be considered demanding; apparently, acclimatization and proper physical condition are mandatory.
The Cho Oyu Expedition Tibet Face commences a flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa. It lies at a height of 3600 meters since it is the base for the acclimatization of the Tibetan plateaus. From here, a drive to Tibet’s largest city, Singatse, and a further drive to Xegar, at an altitude of 4000 m, with its beautiful monasteries. Acclimatization is mandatory here to reduce the effects of altitude sickness.
Furthermore, a drive is up to the Chinese Base Camp, which leads to the Cho Oyu Base Camp. The elevation is 5200 m from sea level as well as acclimatization. The climb is processing which is needed frequently. Then up lays the Advanced Base Camp at 5700 m situated near the Nangpa – La.
The ascent to the 1st Camp is easy and requires simple walking. From 1st Camp (6400 m) to 2nd Camp (7000 m) require ropes for support. This part has a few problematic sections technically. 2nd Camp to 3rd Camp also is relatively easy and requires reaching a height of 7400 meters. Many others 7000 meters peaks are visible while reaching the summit from 3rd Camp via bands and steep snowy slopes.
The actual summit will come after crossing the false summit. The exact path retraces down. Cho Oyu expedition Tibet Face is regarded as a practice for the Everest Expedition and is relatively popular among mountaineers. Climbing up the Cho Oyu is recommendable for trekkers who need to experience climbing 8000 peaks, but with less difficulty.

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!
I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!
I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.
The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo
Recently I did EBC Trekking with my Girl Friend and this is my forth time to trek in Nepal with Kumar! Kumar is very professional and helpful. He always arranges all the things well before you asking for. Highly recommended for anyone who is first time to visit Nepal and trek!
H.E.T were professional and helpful for my first trekking in Nepal. Friendly and joyful trek. Thank you for every things. Thank you to lead me there at ABC. It was so wonderful and I couldn't forget this experience.
Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.
I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
Kumar has a very kind heart to help me arranging logistics before and during my volunteer work in Kathmandu. He also guided me with my city tour and mountain trekking after my volunteer work. He can always surprised me with brilliant suggestions.
