Cho Oyu, the world’s sixth highest mountain at 8,188 meters (26,864 feet), is
known for being one of the more accessible and less technical 8,000-meter
peaks. This makes it a popular choice for climbers aiming to experience a
Himalayan summit with a relatively safer and smoother route, while still offering
stunning views and a true high-altitude challenge.
