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 eight 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! In the new year 2019 we start with the beautiful Druk Path trek in end March, followed by a autumn trek in Ladakh. In October for the first time we will be in the Kangchenjunga region of Nepal for three weeks and end the year with the short but spectacular Annapurna Foothills trek. 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.
