Mt. PUTHA EXPEDITION (Dolpo side)

Mount Putha (7246m/23,772ft) is the Western most peak of Dhaulagiri range, lying serenely to the west of Annapurna South and Ganesh Himal, is the last 7000 m that also marks the end of the snow-capped range. It is also often referred to as Dhaulagir VI. Located in Dolpa, the "Wild West" of Nepal, this peak was made famous by Peter Matthiessen's book "The Snow Leopard". It was first ascended by legendary climber, Jim Roberts along with Nepali climber – Ang Nylma Sherpa in 1954. The peak was last conquered on May 23, 2007 by a Swiss team.

The expedition requires medium level of climbing proficiency, rock climbing, ice-climbing and altitude experience on and above 6000 meters. This could give you an excellent preparation for an 8000 m or Mount Everest.
