What people love about Himalaya Mountains Tours for Seniors
- Millennium Homestay Trek
We did the Millenium Trek together with Ajay, Raj Kumar, Temba and Tek and it was a wonderful tour. Our group of nine women were not super professional trekkers and for many of us it was a first time experience like that. Our tour guides gave us all great support und we felt in very good hands from the beginning. They went with our flow and shaped the tour according to our needs on the go. The people in the villages we stayed at were really lovely and welcoming - you could tell it was a real pleasure for the to host us. They provided delicious food. Overall I would absolutely recommend to do this tour with Swotah Travel!
- Annapurna Base Camp Trek
It's our second trip with Himalayan Trekking and Tours company, every time they organized our trip very well, provided experienced team of guide and porter. We have done the EBC trek before and ABC this time. We will definitely come to Nepal for another hike with this time again!
- Annapurna poon-hill circuit trek
Excellent tour! I highly recommend the excursion with Pasang Sherpa
