    My trek in Nepal with SWOTAH travel was simply awesome. As well as the amazing views the team at SWOTAH took such good care of us and made the whole trip particularly amazing. I would highly recommend this agency. There were several things that stood out for me. Firstly it was we were treated as individuals and were able to be completely flexible throughout as to what we did and when. We were a group of 2 but also spent time apart and this was never a problem to have our different needs met. So much better than being part of a large inflexible group. Secondly and importantly, the quality of the guiding in both the day trips and on the trek itself were second to none. The guides were extremely knowledgable and I learnt so much. I also was amazed on the trek how our every need was both anticipated and met and we were taken such great care of. It was the first time I had been on such a holiday where I did not need to worry about anything and the guide was so kind. He also took us to places off the beaten track so we had a more authentic experience and the views and natural environment he found for us was truly amazing. A beautiful place indeed shared with us with such care. An excellent and individually tailored experience from beginning to end. The quality of the guiding was exceptional and we were taken very good care of throughout. I highly recommend this local company Many thanks.

    This trip was phenomenal. Ajay, Bibek, and Niesel are tremendous people. They helped me a lot along the way since this was my first time in Nepal and first time trekking. Also very helpful with my time during Kathmandu. This trek was the most photogenic views I’ve ever seen. Very grateful to have had this opportunity and crew with me. Thank you Swotah.

    Asked on May 19th, 2024

    Is there a time around this period you recommend best? Do I pay the full amount up front? I am fit and active but is there any specific training you would advise doing before coming? Is there any specific kit you advise buying/bringing? Do I need to bring my own bag for the walk for example? How much money do you think is needed to be bought into the mountains? Does it cost extra to trek to Everest Base Camp as part of the package? Am I met at the airport in Katmandu or do I meet you somewhere in the city? Is accommodation fully provided throughout the trip?

      Late October would be really nice to trek Three Passes Trek. You can only pay advance amount of 20-30% to confirm the tour. This is a challenging trek but regular fitness and training should be enough. We send you trekking check list about things to bring. Everything can be hired here for a fairly cheap price. While you are on the mountains some $30-$50 per day would be more than enough for everything. It doesn't cost extra to do Base camp while you book this trip. We can easily arrange Airport pickup and drop off. Our team will pick you up. Accommodation details are provided in the itinerary.

    Asked on July 16th, 2022

    do you have any groups for Oct 22nd departure? I am a solo traveller and want to join a group. What is the cost of a porter?

    • Swotah Travel and AdventureOperatorWritten July 2022

      For Oct 22 departure, we don't have a fixed group yet, but we would like to assure you that it is a guaranteed departure and we are very optimistic about the group formation. We are getting quite a few inquiries about this. We will make sure you go in a group. Another thing is that October is one of the favorite months for travelers to trek to the Khumbu area, therefore you won't struggle to find a group on the way. Porter charges us around $18-$20 a day. Plus, he needs to be insured, which costs around $30.
