Cholo Expedition

For mountaineers ready to push their limits, the "Cholo Expedition" is a 21-day guided trekking and climbing tour that takes you deep into Nepal’s Everest region for a summit attempt on Cholo (6,097m)—a rarely climbed gem nestled beside the world’s greatest peaks. Starting and ending in Kathmandu, this strenuous journey traverses the Gokyo Valley and Renjo La, ultimately reaching the dramatic, hidden location of Cholo, one of the twin peaks of Abi Himal.

The allure of this expedition lies in its exclusivity—very few climbers reach Cholo’s summit, making this trip a true off-the-beaten-path experience even within the well-traveled Khumbu. Ascend through breathtaking Himalayan landscapes, with panoramic views that stretch across Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. The view from Cholo’s summit is widely regarded as the finest in the Himalayas, offering the rare vantage of both Everest’s North and South Cols.

This tour’s unique selling point is the chance to attempt a technical Himalayan ascent that remains accessible to highly motivated climbers, set against a backdrop of unparalleled natural beauty. Expert guides, comprehensive logistics, and a focus on safety ensure you’re fully supported throughout the adventure.

For experienced mountaineers seeking a distinctive and rewarding climbing trip in the heart of the Himalaya, the Cholo Expedition promises the ultimate test—and the adventure of a lifetime.
