Putha Hiunchuli 2019
04. October 20191 2 3 4 Overview Dates Dossier Itineary FAQ Services Mountain Overview Dhaulagiri VII (also known as ‘Putha Hiunchuli’) is the western most peak of the Dhaulagiri Range and an expedition to it is an adventure in the true sense of the word. The area is remote and simply reaching basecamp is a significant achievement. Unlike many other 7000m mountains the peak itself present basically no technical difficulty it does however represents an attractive opportunity for those who want to climb very high. Do not discount this peak – it is still a very serious undertaking and provides excellent training for later 8,000m peaks. Overall it is probably the ‘easiest’ 7,000m peak in Nepal and presents an ideal opportunity for ski touring and ski or snowboard descents of a 7000+m peak.

Tititea/Mount Aspiring Guided Ascent Known as the “Matterhorn of the South” due to its asthetic shape, Mount Aspiring stands alone as the only 3000m peak outside of Mount Cook National Park. The mountain offers a selection of routes on alpine rock, snow and ice and can be climbed with or without helicopter access – this is a rare opportunity to climb a 3000m peak purely under your own power. The foot approach to the mountain via the grassy flats of the Matukituki Valley, through beech forest then on rock up to Bevan Col and across the Bonar Glacier, is a rewarding adventure in itself!
