It originates in the Pernarava-Šaravai Forest, 3 km from Skaistgiriai village. The Putnupys flows to the south east, at first through the forest, later through the agriculture fields. It meets the Šušvė from the right side near Kampai I village.

The Putnupys pond of 4.8 hectares (12 acres) is made nearby the river mouth. The river passes through Būdai, Prapuoleniai, Kampai II, Kampai I villages.

The name Putnupys possibly comes from the Lithuanian suriname Putna.[2]
