Mt. Cho Oyu (8201m) Expedition
 We “Satyam” offer you “Mt. Cho-Oyu” Tibet expedition, La is the key to an historic trading route still used illicitly today to bring wood from the Khumbu forests of Nepal to build houses on the barren plains of Tibet. Tingri (4350m) where we spend extra two nights acclimatizing. Then we drive tingri to base camp 5000m along rough way with jerking and bouncing through grassy plain leading up to Chinese base camp. We set up our camp at Tibet side base camp and stay two nights or more, depending on how everyone feels. Base camp is temporary but comfortable affair with Nepali/Indian cook and dining tent, as per require. Above the base camp is in the heart of the Himalayan at 5700m surrounded by celestial peaks. There is also the high pass called Nangpa La nearby which is an old but still used yak track trading route follows the big snow scoop on the right in the between Nepal and Tibet.
Next day, we have introduction section with other climbing members & Expedition crews. Since then we make your Tibet visa and other necessary document for Cho Oyu Expedition. After 3 day, we drive you towards Nepal-Tibet border up to the Friendship Bridge through Arniko Highway, where the Chinese liaison officer and Chinese transport meet us. The expedition gears go by truck while we travel by Land cruiser (New 4500 land cruiser/ Japanese) or with comfortable Minibus. From ABC, we can see the superb scene of Cho Oyu. This is the main base camp and we plan to stay here for the longer duration to look the favorable situation for the expedition. The ridge is now soft and easy enough for climbing, then it broadens out and we climb successive huge steps, several of which probably require fixing a rope up. We should fix a new rope in co-operation with other expeditions on the mountain. Although the route is crevassed but normally these creates no problems.
Expedition will depend on conditions and fitness you may attempt the summit from here, or you may establish a light Camp 3 across the plateau and up on a minor ridge at 7550m. Above Camp 3 are two rocky steps where you fix another set of ropes prior to our summit ascent. The panorama is breathtakingly magnificent, including Everest 8848m, Lhotse 8501m, Nuptse 7855m, Chamlang 7319m, Ama Dablam 6856m and other peaks of the Everest region to the east and south. It is normal to descend to Camp 2 from summit and continue down.
