At 8,188 meters (26,864 feet), Mt. Cho Oyu is the 6th highest mountain in the world. Its name means “Turquoise Goddess,” reflecting its majestic appearance. Located on the border of Tibet and Nepal, Cho Oyu is often considered one of the more accessible 8,000-meter peaks, making it a preferred choice for first-time high-altitude climbers.

Though technically less demanding via the Northwest Ridge, climbers must be prepared for extreme altitude, cold temperatures, and steep ice walls.
