percent for ascending 8,201-metre high Mt.
Cho-Oyu for five years (from December 1, 2004 to

mountaineers to use Nepali route while scaling
the mountain.
A mountaineering expedition
team with seven members had to pay the royalty
of US$ 10,000 to climb the Mt. Cho- Oyu.
Mountaineers have been using the Tibetan route
to climb Mt. Cho-Oyu for sometimes. The Golden
Jubilee of the first ascent Mt. Cho-Oyu was
observed on October 19, 2004. The Ministry of

thousanders following the success of the Golden
Jubilee Anniversary of Mt. Everest in 2003 which
had immensely helped boost Nepal’s
mountaineering tourism in the international
market. |
