Sirdar or sardar is a broad, alpine guide that directs all shovels during a climbing expedition or group tours. Usually sirdar is the most experienced guide. His duties include:

A typical sirdar career begins as a porter, a kitchen assistant, then as an auxiliary guide, and finally as a sirdar. Snipers are usually no longer porters, although it may happen when you have to carry a client's backpack, for example with problems with altitude sickness.
