Putha Hiunchuli is a mountain peak in the Dhaulagiri range of the Himalayas in Nepal. It is the seventh highest peak in the Dhaulagiri range and stands at an elevation of 7,246 meters (23,770 feet) above sea level. The peak is located in the west-central part of Nepal, in the Myagdi District of the Dhaulagiri Zone.
The peak was first climbed by a Japanese expedition team in 1954. Since then, it has seen very few successful ascents due to its technical difficulty and remote location. The climbing route is considered to be one of the most challenging in the Dhaulagiri range, and requires a high level of mountaineering skill and experience.
Putha Hiunchuli is considered a sacred peak by the local people and is said to be the home of various deities. The mountain is also of great ecological importance, as it is part of the Dhaulagiri Conservation Area, which is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna.
The best time to climb Putha Hiunchuli is from September to November, during the autumn season. The peak is accessible by foot from the Myagdi Khola, which is the closest roadhead. The trek to the base camp of Putha Hiunchuli is a strenuous and challenging one and requires a high level of physical fitness and acclimatization.
Putha Hiunchuli is a peak for experienced mountaineers, who are looking for a challenging and remote climbing experience in the Himalayas. The peak offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including the Annapurna range and the Dhaulagiri range, as well as a unique cultural experience in the remote villages of western Nepal.
