When preparing to climb Mt Cho Oyu, it’s important to consider the climbing experience expected. This majestic peak stands as the world’s 6th highest mountain, towering at an impressive 8,201 meters above sea level in Tibet. Expedition to Mt Cho Oyu demands a high level of physical fitness and mental stamina. Climbers should be prepared for long days of hiking with heavy gear, extreme weather conditions, and high altitudes that can challenge even the most seasoned mountaineers.

Technical experience in mountaineering is also crucial when tackling Cho Oyu. Understanding rope techniques, ice climbing skills, and glacier travel are essential for a successful ascent. Familiarity with using crampons, ice axes, and harnesses is necessary for navigating the challenging terrain.

Climbers aiming to climb Mt Cho Oyu must possess a combination of physical strength, mental resilience, and technical expertise to face the demanding conditions awaiting them on this epic expedition.

A whole kit of equipment specially made to climb an 8000m peak is required for this expedition. Through our multiple years of experience in climbing 8000m peaks, we have compiled the following list that is suitable for this climb. We just like to add one golden rule in the aspect of purchasing equipment/gear i.e., “Try before you buy.”

Travel Details

Climbers are suggested to arrive 2-3 days before the start date of the expedition. This allows ample time to recover from any jetlag and settle in Kathmandu. The return ticket may be an ‘open ticket’ or 3-5 days after the last day of the expedition.

Insurance

It is mandatory for every climber to have an insurance that covers medical emergency & evacuation during the full duration of the expedition. Along with that, we also highly recommend a ‘trip cancellation’ insurance for any eventuality. Having such an insurance will ensure that you as a climber are covered from all aspects.

Currency

Yuan will be used for doing all the local transactions. And alternatively, carrying USD will be of great value, as pretty much everyone accepts them without any hesitation.

Visa

We provide the supporting documentation and all the necessary communication required for the processing of your visa.

Payment Policy
A booking advance of INR 5,00,000/- is required to confirm participation in the expedition, along with a registration form.

The balance amount of the total cost (after deducting the advance amount paid) is due 30 days prior to departure.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation is allowed at any time up to 45 days before departure, with a deduction of 5% of the booking amount.

If cancellation occurs between 45 and 30 days prior to departure, a refund will be made after deducting the wages of the Climbing Sherpa (including their allowances, equipment charges, etc.), the amount mentioned in point number one of the cancellation policy, and transaction charges.

No refunds will be given for cancellations made within 29 days of departure
