Mt. Qowowuyag ( Cho Oyu
) rising 8,201 m above sea level is situated
in the middle section of the Himalayas, with the north side lying in
the Tingri County. Cho Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world,
has only recently become a popular mountain
to climb. |
|
It is known to
be one of the easer of the world's fourteen 8.000 meter mountain.
This is because the ascent to the summit is short and direct, with a
few small technical sections climbed in safety using fixed ropes.
Additionally, the mountain can be easily reached by four-wheel-drive
vehicle. |
