Trip Overview

The sixth highest mountain in the world Mt. Cho Oyu stands tall at an elevation of 8201m above sea level. This massive mountain forms a wall between the gigantic nation China and Nepal. The name Cho Oyu means "Turquoise Goddess" in the Tibetan language. The very first attempt for the summit of Cho Oyu was led by Eric Shipton which included famous mountaineers like Edmund Hilary, George Lowe, Charles Evans, and Tom Bourdilon. Unfortunately, the group was met with failure by reaching only up to 6650m.

The first successful attempt was made by Austrian duo Herbert Tichy and Joseph Jochler accompanied by Pasang Dawa Lama in 1954 AD. The summit of Mount Cho Oyu is easier compared to the other 8000'ers of Nepal. The first successful summit by Nepalese is by Ang Phuri Sherpa in 1987 AD. The summit can be finished within 45 days and is perfect for the mountain climber who has a very limited time. From the top of the mountain, you will see the Himalayan vistas of both countries Nepal and china.

"Best way to experience Nepal"

We did the 14 days Nepal budget tour and we could not be more happy with our choice. In only 2 weeks we visited Kathmandu, Chitwan national park, Pokhara and did a 5 day trek in the Annapurna region. The organization was flawless (like a swiss clock). We felt safe and welcomed in every place. Our guides Harka (Chitwan) and Ganesh (Pokhara and trek) + Bishal (our porter) did an outstanding job. We recommend them and the whole trip 100%. It was much better than we could have imagined. In the end, we recommand everyone to visit the beautiful places from Nepal and meet its warm and welcoming people.

"Amazing Everest Base Camp Trek!!"

Had an absolute amazing time. The Himalayas were beautiful, had blue skies and views everyday. Himalayan Social Journey and our guides Mingmar Sherpa and Rupesh went beyond our expectations. Definety helped us reach Everest Base Camp without any issues. Would definitely do another trek with them and would not use anyone else.

"Awesome Experience!!!"

Mingmar sherpa dai was our trek lead along-with Tenzing dai, Janak and Siddharth. All of them really helped us during entire the trek. Whether it is stay, food or assistance for any additional request. I would highly recommend them as trek leads if you are planning for the trek in and around Nepal. Specially EBC.

A Day Rafting Tour to TRISHULI RIVER

"Best Experience Of My Life!"

It was my first trekking experience in Nepal and Himalayan Social Journey made the entire experience memorable. They are very professional and will help you at every point. A special word of thanks to Sushma, who helped a lot throughout and was my go-to person. My guide Dinesh was a gem and so was the porter, Ramkrishna. Dinesh saved my life a few times (literally) and he is so efficient and helpful that it is hard to put in words. Want togo back to Nepal through HSJ, there is a lot more to do. If you are planning any activity in Nepal you may blindly book with HSJ and be assured of an experience of a lifetime. These guys are more than a tour planner, they are your friend. philosopher, guide all in one!
