Chomo Lonzo

Chomo Lonzo is a high mountain in the Himalaya located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The peak rises above 7,000 meters and is part of the Mahalangur Himalaya subrange.

The mountain is known for steep faces and technical climbing routes rather than mass tourism, so it attracts experienced mountaineers and expedition teams. There are no developed visitor facilities on the mountain and access requires permits and high-altitude logistics.

Chomo Lonzo was mapped and named during Himalayan surveying and has been visited by climbing expeditions; it remains a challenging objective because of its elevation and technical terrain. It has several distinct summits and steep ridgelines used by climbers.

The peak lies north of the Nepal-China border in the Everest region of the Mahalangur Himalaya, north of Mount Everest. It is situated in a remote high-altitude landscape of glaciers and high mountain valleys.
