South Col Expeditions is a boutique outfit carrying out treks and photo workshops in the Himalaya. Most major treks are led by Sujoy Das, the founder of South Col Expeditions. Other treks are led by trusted sirdars (guides) with a wealth of experience. South Col groups are usually small between six and ten persons and their client profile includes photographers, wildlife and nature lovers and environmentalists. Many of South Col’s clients are trekking for the first time and so require hand-holding and support which we provide and help them fulfill their dreams! The global pandemic since March 2020 has disrupted our trekking schedule for 2020 as well as for 2021. We hope that all our fellow trekkers and friends all over the world stay well and safe. Both India and Nepal are in the midst of a brutal second wave with galloping cases every day. We hope that these come down soon and we can resume our trekking schedule with treks in Ladakh, Kashmir and in the autumn in Nepal. Our treks are all on this web site please do visit and let me know how I can help you. Other than this, custom treks in Nepal, Bhutan and Ladakh are always possible tailor made for small teams. For custom itineraries and dates please do get in touch. I look forward to trekking with you in the coming season.
