    Never having been to Nepal or even Asia before we really appreciated the recommendation from Swotah Travel about how to get the best from our adventure. They were very flexible before and during the trip about changing the arrangements too. Communication with the team was excellent and our guides were very knowledgeable, had excellent English and were great fun. They promoted local hotels and culture so we got the most from our holiday.

    My friend and I did the 7 day tour around Nepal and visited 3 places (Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan) organized by Swotah Travel and we had such a great time. Ajay organised everything for us seamlessly, from picking us up at the airport, to our hotel stays, transportation and also our activities. He also planned out our itinerary for us and was very accommodating to to any of our requests and changes. The entire trip went well without any major hiccups and everyone at Swotah Travel were extremely friendly and helpful during the entire trip. I cannot recommend Swotah Travel enough, and would definitely engage Swotah travel again when I'm back in Nepal! Big shout-out to Ajay and team for the amazing time in Nepal!

    Great team and especially their boss Ajay. Bravo for your dedication and passion. We had a great French speaking guide. There was a problem with our return flight due to bad weather, but they resolved everything quickly and professionally, so we got our connection.

    I truly enjoyed our experience during Poon Hill treking! Me and my friend not only loved the beautiful landscapes but incredible team! Our group was very positive and nice, besides Ajay and our guide Temba Lama who made this time a truly close family experience! Thanks a lot for this opportunity, highly recommended!

    Omg, everything was so well organized, I couldn't even ask for anything more! SWOTAH team, especially Aj, are very passionate about organizing. Every detailed mattered. I had the best guides, the best porters and the best team members. I've eaten the best food, slept in the best teahouses and seen spectacular views of Himalayas. Eventually we became more than just a trekking team. I felt like I am with my family who wants me to discover stunning Nepal as much as it's possible. My next trek to Mera Peak I'll do only with SWOTAH team, no doubts. Thank you so much for your care, dedication and feeling of home. You, guys, are the best

    I was very impressed with ALL my dealings with SWOTAH TRAVEL. Even before I left they answered all my questions in a very timely manner. They listened to my personal preferences and made matching arrangements. In other words they were VERY RESPONSIVE to my requests. They provided me with a Nepalese SIM card, so we could always be in touch, even during my free time they were available to answer questions. The entire staff was knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful. We were able to discuss any small concerns with totally honesty, which was so important to me. I have complete trust in them and their integrity. The experience of being cared for by SWOTAH TRAVEL made this an amazing trip. Everything was well planned and went very smoothly. My trip was definitely one to remember and one whose memories I will always cherish. Thank you SWOTAH TRAVEL
