Mt. Cho Oyu is the second most popular mountain to climb in the Himalaya. It rises 8201m above sea level and is situated in the middle part of the Himalaya lying north of Tingri. It is about 30 km west from Everest at the head of the Gokyo valley. Cho Oyu is the sixth highest mountain in the world and it is considered as the best among 8000ers to climb before climbing Mt. Everest.

Peak Promotion has organized several expeditions to Cho Oyu. One of the Cho Oyu expedition that we organized was for Ed Viesturs, Viekka Gustafsson and Jimmy Chin in the spring of 2005. This was their aclimatizing expedition before Annapurna. Ed and Viekka Climbed Annapurna right after climbing Cho Oyu and Ed became the first American to climb fourteen 8000ers.

Though many people think that Cho Oyu is an easy mountain, Peak Promotion is still concerned on all the logistics, food, equipments, and most importantly, climbing experience of our clients. If you are thinking of climbing Cho Oyu, then you must have at least climbed a 6000 m peak. Peak Promotion is also concerned on having our clients climb up the mountain getting acclimatized and adjust to high altitude as acclimatization is one of the most important part of climbing any high mountains.

We not only organize a common expedition for international climbers to join but also organize specialized expedition for individuals or pre-made groups.
