Putha Hiunchuli (7246m/23,772ft) is the westernmost peak of the Dhaulagiri range.To the west is Annapurna South and Ganesh Himal. Putha Hiunchuli is the last 7000m peak marking the end of the snow-capped range, it is also sometimes referred to as Dhaulagiri VI.
Putha Hiunchuli is located in Dolpa or "Wild West" of Nepal, made famous by Peter Matthiessen's book The Snow Leopard. 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 70’s and an easier snow climb up the northern flanks, the average angle does not exceed 35 degrees on this route. Satori will take clients and fix the route up the easier snow slopes, ensuring safe and responsible practices throughout the climb. This peak is suitable for those who want to climb very high, but on moderate terrain.
