Tour Details
Overview

Mount Putha Hiunchuli is one of the most beautiful mountains of 7000 meters high peak of Nepal lies at the western peak of the Dhaulagiri range and is sometimes referred to as Dhaulagiri VII. It was first climbed in 1954 by Jimmy Roberts. The Dhaulagiri range is made up of some of the world’s most impressive peaks. In this range, to the west of Annapurna South of Ganesh Himal, lies a long ridge at the end of which stands the serene Putha Hiunchuli. This mountain is the last 7000 meters marking the end of the snow-capped range. Our trek begins at the trading town of Beni or from Juphal-Dunai, which is about a week’s walk away from the German Base Camp situated at an altitude of 4,525m. The landscape during the approach walk is as enchanting as it is unique a mineral world made of high cliffs and deep canyons. This is a remote and seldom-visited area, just getting to base camp is an expedition in itself. This peak is rarely climbed and has two distinct faces: a steep, technical ridge pioneered by the Japanese in the early ’70s and an easier snow climb up the northern flanks, the average angle does not exceed 35 degrees on this route.
