Cho-Oyu & Shishapangma Combined Expedition Overview
Cho-Oyu and Shishapagma combined expedition is also named as Tibet combined excursion. It is considered as the most famous expedition in Tibet.
Mt. Shishapangma is the lowest 8000m coming in (8013m/26335ft) among the 14 8,000m peaks globally. Tibetans considered it as the holy mountains elevated at the Himalayan ranges. Mt. Shishapangma is known by many as one of the most convenient 8000m mountains to climb, and it is the first prerequisite to Mount Everest. Shishapangma creates an excellent base for 8000m expeditions; we recommend this as your first 8000m ascent. This peak is the highest in the Langtang Himal. The Tibetan name is Xixapangma, and the Nepalese refer to the summit as Gosaitan, meaning "The Holy Place," literally translated as "The Mountain overlooking the grassy plains."
Cho Oyu is the sixth-highest peak in the world, standing at 8,201 meters. Cho Oyu Expedition is one of the most accessible 8,000-meter peaks due to its straightforward approach and lack of objective dangers. Cho Oyu means "Goddess of Turquoise," as its stark shadows appear this colour in the setting sun's light when viewed from Tibet. Cho Oyu is about 30 km west of Mt. Everest and on the border between Nepal and Tibet. Mt. Cho-Oyu was first scaled on 19th October 1954 by Austrian Joseph Joechler, Herbert Tichy and Pasang Dawa Lama from Nepal. Two climbing routes are available, one from the south - Nepal side and the next from the north - the west ridge, often called the regular route. The mountain is semi-technical, with short ice cliffs, a rock band, and several crevasses.
Cho-Oyu and Shishapagma's expedition is 45 days, including technical mountainside walking with exceptional scenery and a blend of cultures. Due to the closeness of Cho Oyu to Shishapangma, the infrastructure, and the logistics set up on both summits by the company, we present an excellent chance to ascend two 8,000-meter mountains in a single season.
