  • Annapurna Circuit Trek (Original) reviewer 1
    · October 29th, 2023
    Wonderful and memorable trek! We have just completed the Annapurna circuit. Great organisation and perfect service of the tour organiser. Nirajan was a great guide! He is very experienced, and he was attentive and flexible. He helped us in every step of the trek (transport, lodge, meals), made us know mountains, monasteries and Nepalese traditions. We recommend them.

    My experience at the Millennium Homestay Trek was amazing. I hiked to these colorful villages with my partner last week. It was really worth visiting, and it was precisely what we were expecting from this off-the-beaten trail. Local lifestyle and untouched beauty of the hills. This trek is a must for those who can't do high-altitude treks in the Himalayas. We simply loved it. We highly recommend taking Kumar as a guide for this hike, as he is certainly the best in the business. Funny one. Never seen such friendly people on any other trail. Ajay went above and beyond to ensure we were doing fine, and he managed it well. Really recommend this trek to all, and Swotah Travel is really professional. We would go with them again if we were to visit Nepal again.

    Tika was amazing - funny, considerate, informative and definitely a veteran out there in the mountains. I would suggest him for solo travellers or small groups!

    I just returned from Dhaulagiri Circuit and can say I've never seen views more beautiful than during my trek. So grateful to all of Swotah Travel and Adventure team and especially to my best guide Chandra who eventually became my friend, and the strongest porter I've ever met Passang Sherpa who knows the funniest stories to tell at the right moment. This agency made my adventure once in a lifetime experience which was organized on a high level: reliable equipment, professional guides, sherpas and porters, well thought out trekking route and of course great cooked meals. As was mentioned in previous reviews many times, I want to mention it again: these guys go far beyond of their possibilities to provide the best service with personal touch, I felt like with family with them. Highly recommend Swotah for your adventures in Nepal as definitely this is the best trekking agency and I wish to see you again guys! Cheers!

    Asked on March 24th, 2022

    I am a vegan, so no meat, dairy, eggs or fish. Is there an option for this? Also, is there any use of animals for carrying luggage or equipment in the trek? Or are there human porters to carry bags?

    • Swotah Travel and AdventureOperatorWritten March 2022

      In this trail, there will be limited options for vegan like Dalbhat, spaghetti and so on. There are animals and human porters to carry the stuff, but animal porters can be bit expensive and may be difficult to track along. We highly recommend human porters.
