Putha Hiunchuli Expedition

On the day of your arrival, a Firante representative will greet you at Tribhuvan International Airport. You will be welcomed and then transferred to a hotel in the heart of Kathmandu city. You can either relax at the hotel or come to the Firante office to get more information on the trip. You will join us for a welcome dinner program planned by us in the evening.

We'll spend the day sightseeing in Kathmandu's valley, visiting some of the city's most beautiful world heritage monuments. We will also finish all of the essential paper work and other preparations for the Putha Hiunchuli Expedition today.

We are taking a flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj today. You will be transported to the hotel after arriving in Nepalgunj. We'll go to the sacred Bageshwari Temple and spend some time walking through the bustling market 'bazaar.' People from all corners of Nepal, as well as Tibet and India, can be seen here. They come here to trade products and services.

We will get up early to catch a morning flight from Nepalgunj to Juphal's dirt airstrip. We will gather our belongings after arriving safely at Juphal airport and begin trekking on a wide track that descends through magnificent terraced fields. Before crossing the Thuli Bheri Khola, our trail passes through a small clump of buildings (river). After crossing the river, we continue our journey on a wide dirt road that leads us to Dunai, where we will spend the night. Dunai serves as the administrative and economic center for the whole Dolpo Region.

We will leave Dunai after breakfast and continue the trail along the Thuli Bheri river to Tarakot. We'll walk on a wide track with some gentler stretches. It is a historic fortified town that was erected by the locals as a Dzong (fortress). Our staff will set the camp and make preparations for additional trekking once we get at the campsite.

We will leave Tarakot and follow the trail that runs along the river's right bank. Our trek will continue with spectacular views of adjacent valleys and canyons. We will arrive at Musi Khola for our overnight camping after a few hours of trekking from Lesicap. Our campsite will be nestled in the woods, with a few scattered homesteads. 

As we trek towards Kakot from Musikhola, our trail becomes more difficult. After some walking, the trail comes to a bridge that spans the river's narrowest section. Soon, we'll be on our way to Kakot, following a vast pathway and path carved into the rock and built on a magnificent descending stairway engineered by the locals.

We'll leave Kakot on a rising track that leads to the base camp, which is separated from the rest of the world by deep, impassable ravines that can only be reached by crossing two high altitude passes. We'll take the trail that leads to the 4,160-meter crossing of the first pass. From there, we'll continue our trek to 4,400 meters, where we'll set up camp near German Base Camp. As soon as we get at the area, our crew will begin setting up camp. Resting after a hard day of trekking will be well worth it.

After breakfast, we will depart German Base Camp and ascend the steep trail to the second and much more difficult pass. Although the climbing of Putha Hiunchuli is believed to be less technical, the ascent trail to the base camp is thought to be much more challenging. Walking at a higher altitude can be exhausting, so taking a break now and then can help you regain the stamina you need to continue trekking. At 4,915 meters, our base camp will be located on a moraine plateau. For climbing Putha Hiunchuli, our team will make the necessary preparations.

We'll spend many days practicing climbing techniques, with enough time for acclimatization. We will follow the footsteps and instructions of our experienced climbing specialists, fully equipped with necessary climbing equipment. We will climb to the summit of Putha Hiunchuli after overcoming various technical climbing portions and taking weather circumstances into account. We are rewarded with stunning views of the Dolpo region's high valleys and peaks as we reach the summit. We'll spend a brief amount of time at the peak before returning to base camp using the same method.

We'll take a leisurely start and prepare for the return journey now that we've reached our goal - the peak of Putha Hiunchuli. After cleaning up the base camp, we'll follow the same trail back to our campground at German Base Camp, which includes crossing a pass. On our journey back, we'll soak in the stunning scenery of the Dolpo region.

We will collect our belongings and leave our camp at the German Base Camp after breakfast. We will begin to retrace our steps in preparation for another pass crossing. After crossing the pass, our trail descends to Kakot, where we will camp for the night.

We will retrace our steps back to Kakot on the same track that passes through Musi Khola. As we hike all the way back to Dunai for our overnight stay, our trail will pass through Tarakot. Today will be a long but enjoyable day of hiking. At Dunai, we'll celebrate the evening with the entire climbing crew.

After breakfast in Dunai, we'll have a leisurely start on a broad track that passes the Thulo Bheri River before ascending through terraced farmlands to Jhuphal, where our journey formally finishes. We'll spend the remainder of the day exploring Jhuphal before flying back to Kathmandu via Nepalgunj the next day.

We will eat breakfast and catch an early morning flight from Jhuphal to Nepalgunj because there are no direct flights from Jhuphal to Kathmandu. We'll take another flight from Nepalgunj to Kathmandu. You will be transported to your accommodation after arriving in Kathmandu. You may either relax in your hotel or go for a walk-through Kathmandu's bustling streets.

You'd like to visit as much of Kathmandu as possible, right? Visiting Kathmandu's temples requires an early start. On this day, you can visit the UNESCO world heritage sites that you couldn't see on the second day of your vacation. Walking around Thamel's shopping lanes is also a great way to spend time in Kathmandu. In the evening, we will celebrate the conclusion of the Putha Hiunchuli Expedition by enjoying a last meal.

According to your flight schedule, our Airport Representative will drop you off at the International Airport.
