Cho Oyu is the world's sixth highest mountain and considered by many as the easiest of the fourteen 8000m peaks. This is mainly due to the ease of access which is achieved utilising vehicles to the base of the mountain and a two day trek in hiking boots to the base camp at 5600m. The climbing route has only a few short technical sections yet is direct, allowing climbers to gain altitude without covering a lot of distance.

As with all ascents at high altitude the climbing is strenuous and requires a high standard of fitness but as a peak to experience the thin air at 8000m for the first time, Cho Oyu is ideal. A small team of Sherpas will accompany the expedition to provide the carrying power and to ensure the high camps are well stocked.

Our familiarity with the mountain and our ability to transcend the logistical hurdles, as well as providing excellent base camp food and comfort, makes the possibility of taking those final steps onto an 8200m summit that much greater.

  • Reviewer: Stephen located in Canada
    When I decided four years ago to complete the Seven Summits, I wanted to try a different guide company for all of my climbs until I found one that I was comfortable with, had the experience on all the summits and met all my expectations.  After using three other companies, I am now in the process of planning my third climb with Adventure Consultants.
  • Reviewer: Dave located in USA
    Good guides understand that part of the payoff is the opportunity to help create on of life's most powerful experiences for someone they've just met.  I salute the guides of Adventure Consultants, who do just that every time they lead an expedition.
  • Reviewer: Dominic located in UK
    May I take this opportunity to thank Adventure Consultants for putting me on top of the world on May 13, 2011, it was a lifelong ambition to climb Everest, and I only believe it starts to sink in 6 months later!
