Putha Hiunchuli Ski Expedition
Expedition to the Dhaulagiri Range Putha Hiunchuli or Dhaulagiri VII is the farthest western of the Dhaulagiri range and has an altitude of 7,246 metres. It is one of the most beautiful mountains with a height of 7,000 metres in Nepal, with snow-slope, calm climbs, and that way, good for skiing. Compared to other mountains in the High Himalayas, Putha Hiunchuli has more access. It is blessed with great natural beauty, and the same is thrilling in terms of the expedition experience. For climbers looking for an alternative to a Everest expedition, this journey offers a quieter, more remote, and equally rewarding high-altitude adventure. The place is hardly occupied by any path, a clean place, a dramatic landscape, and very much of a true Himalayan expedition atmosphere. Why choose Putha Hiunchuli instead of the Everest Expedition An Everest expedition is often seen as the ultimate goal for climbers, but Putha Hiunchuli provides a different kind of experience. It is a combination of achieving the summit and ski mountaineering. While this is not quite as technical as Everest, it requires good endurance, good acclimatisation, and good physical fitness. For many climbers, this is a great way to gain experience on a 7,000-metre peak before taking on an Everest expedition. It is also perfect for people who want to climb a major Himalayan Mountain without the extremes of technical difficulty. The mountain has broad, snowy slopes and steeper slopes, which make it very suitable for high-altitude skiing. Journey to Base Camp The trip begins with a couple of scenic flights from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and Nepalgunj to Jhupal. These flights offer unbelievable views of the Himalayas and kick-start an adventure in the remote region of the western part of Nepal. From Jhupal, trek to Base Camp, which makes a journey takes about 6 days, and is at 4,900 metres altitude. The trail traverses traditional villages as well as green forests and alpine meadows, and steep river valleys. One usually spends 5 to 7 hours walking every day. The slow ascent helps it to acclimatise itself to the altitude, along with giving trekkers view some astonishing views and local culture along the way. Experience with Climbing and Skiing The climbing team follows less demanding and safer snow routes and can set the way for safer routes and provide assistance on the way. Compared to the highly technical nature of an Everest expedition, Putha Hiunchuli offers a more moderate climb while still giving the excitement of high-altitude mountaineering. From the top, climbers can have immense and beautiful views in the Dhaulagiri range and over other Himalayas. For ski mountaineers, the descent down from over 7000 metres is a rare and unforgettable experience, together with the combination of adventure, skill, and these incredible views. History Putha Hiunchuli was climbed successfully for the first time in 1959. Despite its height and beauty, it is still less crowded than the mountains involved in an Everest expedition, which helps preserve its remote and untouched nature. Who would participate in this Expedition? This expedition is best for experienced trekkers, ski mountaineers, and climbers who are preparing for an Everest expedition.
