We had a fantastic time in Nepal. Swotah arranged everything beautifully and was always available for any questions queries or if Travel plans had to change or when the flights were cancelled. The properties we stayed at were completely amazing with spectacular views of the Annapurna range and the weather was wonderful, allowing us to see the Himalayas in all their glory. Would highly recommend a trip to Nepal with Swotah travels.

Awesome experience. SWOTAH is a great agent and highly recommended. The best part is, whatever they wrote/inform before the trip vs what we got during the trip are all aligned. Their quality of handling people are simply great. Will use them again.

We had a great time doing the annapurna circuit trek. Our guide Bijay Gurung had a lot of experience and told us a lot about the area and the mountains we saw. He arranged every thing, the breakfast, lunch, diner, beautifull places to sleep even with wifi to ‘highcamp’ Is recommend everybody to go out and grab this experience!

Som and his team were the absolute best. The trip was very well organized, the scheduled pickups/drop offs to and from the trek takeoff were always prompt. Som was always on top of optimized routes and accommodations during the trek and was always extremely quick to make sure our group was well taken care of. I would highly recommend using Swotah Travel and truly would not look anywhere else.

Our trip was simply unforgettable! The fantastically organized tour exceeded all our expectations. Swotah Travel staff were very dedicated and always available, which gave us a sense of security. We would like to highlight the perfectly organized trekking tour. Our tour guide, Mrs Chat Maya Garbuja, had a great mountain experience and an enormous cultural knowledge that she shared with us. The interesting background information about the history of the villages, the different ethnic groups as well as the flora and fauna have enriched our experiences. The mountain guide was very attentive and helpful, which added to the experience. It was the most beautiful trip of our lives, and we are sure we will book a trekking trip again at Swotah Travel to have more adventures!

Swotah gets my highest recommendation. I looked at and spoke with several agencies before signing on with Swotah for a 21 day Annapurna circuit with Tilcho Lake. From the time we were picked up at the airport, everything went smoothly. Our guide Bijay and porter Rosen were superb and very attentive to what we wanted to get out of our trip. Each day was a new version of amazing. I have gained such an appreciation for the people, culture and landscape of Nepal. Based on this experience I also used Swotah to travel to Chitwan National Park and Lumbini. If Trip Advisor allows, will post separate reviews for these experiences.
