Travel Visas to Climb Cho Oyu
July 31st, 2010
If mountaineering is one of your hobbies, climbing an 8,000-meter-tall mountain is probably on your life list of goals. That means a trip to the Himalayas. While climbing Mount Everest is a difficult and expensive undertaking, there is a more accessible option for amateur mountain climbers- Cho Oyu, the "Turquoise Goddess" of the Himalayas.
At 8,201 meters above sea level, Cho Oyu is the 6th highest mountain in the world. There are 14 mountains in the Himalayan range with summits higher than 8,000 meters. However, Cho Oyu is generally considered the easiest and most approachable of these giants.

Nepal is justly famous for its Himalayan treks, but the capital city of Kathmandu is the country's beating heart. No matter where you're going, you'll start out here. If you came to Nepal in search of solitude, you may be a bit put off by the city initially. Here's how Gadling describes it:
From the time you leave Tribhuvan International Airport, the city is an assault on the senses, with the constant noise of traffic, the smell of incense (often used to counter the smell of trash), and the sights of the busy market places, awash in a myriad of bright, garish colors. The narrow, twisty streets are clogged with cars, the sidewalks are teeming with people, and air is thick with smog.
And yet, if you were to rush out of the city as quickly as possible, you would definitely be missing
