The Cho Oyu Expedition is a scenic short made trek to Cho Oyu Base Camp, intermediate and advanced camp followed by 3 climbing camps. The way to Cho Oyu Base Camp involves a normal drive at high altitude rewarding with powerful super stunning views of Cho Oyu to the north with other real glaciers surrounded by the unforgettable presence of the world’s mightiest mountains. Here we set up the Advanced Base Camp and then three high camps in the mountain. Then, we initiate our main attempt to scale the summit (8201m).
