Dhaulagiri Himalayan range is blessed with some of the most impressive 7000m. peaks and Putha Himchuli is one of them at the west from the Dhaulagiri. Mt. Putha Hiunchuli was first climbed in 1954 by Jimmy Roberts, a legendary explorer and climber. Putha Hiunchuli offers many possible routes that can be explored and the climbing is technically challenging. It is said that the difficulty level of the climbing is comparable to any classic route of the French Alps. Putha Hiuchuli's south slopes offers different summit's base camps but the ascent route is technically difficult. The trip 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.
