    Both Kumar and his son John who accompanied us as a team were both excellent with a good local knowledge of the terrain, trails and culture. Kumar facilitated our stops and corresponding meals, accommodations and transport excellently. Would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a porter and guide team to trek the Nepal Himalayas.

    Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. I had a 😍 time with Bibek, my Guide, who was very generous enough to push me when needed and support me when I was down. Overall, Swotah Travel did an amazing job in helping me view the ABC trek the way it is, including planned itinerary, accommodations, transportations everything. Thanks to the team!

    Ajay and Tika made Nepal an unforgettable experience for me. Tika is a very friendly and funny guide and Ajay made sure everything is fine the whole time. When you book a Trip by Swotah Travel you definitely won’t get a faceless organization but real supportive humans that try everything to make your Nepal Trip as good as possible.

    Fantastic experience! Booked myself into a group trek but the rest canceled but with departure guaranteed, the 7-day trek was never in doubt. Ajay and the team took care of me and helped me in every way from arriving in KTM to the trek and beyond. The guide, Diwas, was very professional and easy going, a real problem-solver. Even though it was just him and I along the trek I never felt lonely. Diwas provided excellent company along the partly challenging route. Great knowledge about the region, culture, terrain while also fun, social and very friendly. I'd really recommend Swotah and Diwas to others, groups or solo travelers

    Well organized and knowledgeable guide Vivek made everything very straightforward and simple to follow! Everything necessary was provided and trekking was very smooth! Double check with tour company before booking as Tourradar glitch will say there are 2 spots left out of 10 when date is close and you may end up on a solo tour, which ends up more expensive for those on a tight budget and can be disappointing if you prefer a group.

    I had the pleasure of getting a recommendation about this travel agency through a friend and I am glad me and my friend booked with them. Ajay and his team are always available to make your experience memorable. We booked several day trips with them in Kathmandu valley as well as a 10 day trek to the Annapurna base Camp. His package for the Trek was competitive and quite clear on exclusions and inclusions. We had a fantastic time with our porter and guide Chandra (best guide ever!!!!!). As two women travelling alone in Nepal safety was a priority and all team always made sure we were very safe. We also received from our guides a very good deep dive into the history and culture of Nepal. The explanations were always of high quality. The owner Ajay is a young and very promising individual who does not hesitate to proactively ask feedback from his guests in order to improve its service. I think because of that the travel agency has good days ahead. I warmly recommend you to book with them as I will do in a few years when i return to Nepal. Good job guys !!!!
