Cho Oyu (Nepali : चोयु; Tibetan : ཇོ་བོ་དབུ་ཡ ; Chinese : 卓奥友峰 ) is the sixth-highest mountain in the world at 8,188 metres (26,864 ft) above sea level . Cho Oyu means "Turquoise Goddess" in Tibetan .[ 3] Khumbu Mahalangur Himalaya 20 km west of Mount Everest . The mountain stands on the China–Nepal border , between the Tibet Autonomous Region and Koshi Province .
Just a few kilometres west of Cho Oyu is Nangpa La (5,716m/18,753 ft), a glaciated pass that serves as the main trading route between the Tibetans and the Khumbu 's Sherpas . This pass separates the Khumbu and Rolwaling Himalayas . Due to its proximity to this pass and the generally moderate slopes of the standard northwest ridge route, Cho Oyu is considered the easiest 8,000 metre peak to climb.[ 4] professionally guided parties.
