Frank, Antonia & Kinder, GermanyGerne denken wir zurück an unseren Nepal-Urlaub. Wir waren fasziniert von der Natur, der Kultur und den freundlichen Menschen. Dank der guten Organisation und Betreuung durch SFT haben wir uns von Anfang an wohl gefühlt. Dies gilt sowohl für das Sightseeing im Kathmandu-Tal als auch für den Poonhill Trek. Auch mit den Kindern haben wir uns zu jeder Zeit sehr sicher und sehr gut betreut gefühlt. Sowohl unser Guide als auch die Träger waren sehr nett, sympathisch und hilfsbereit. Besonders bedanken möchten wir uns bei ihnen nochmal für die Organisation der Geburtstagstorte und der Kinderbetreuung während wir frühmorgens den Poonhill erklommen haben. Vielen Dank auch dir Stephan für die Gastfreundschaft und die vielen guten Tipps.

Thank you very much for the arrangements during our trip in the beautiful Annapurna region. It was truely great! Special thanks to your nice guys, Ashta Lama and Anik and the others. They are very nice and careful guys who made all arrangements nicely and in a friendly manner.

The treks were beautiful, and also an easy introduction to trekking for those without much experience or any wish to overdo it. It was also great to intersperse the walking with some interesting sights enroute — obviously it was a real bonus that the Yartang festival was on. The region was definitely a great choice for the rainy season so I would highly recommend your company for putting together the itinerary as well as the guiding and organisation.
Dagny Mjos and Family, 2 Adults and 1 Child, Norway
We had a great trek in Nepal thanks to your good team and organization. Lalu was a very good guide, and had done a great job getting us rooms with attached bathroom and hot water in all the lodges! We also really enjoyed the porters' company - especially Ronik - He has a special ability to be with children and Paul just loved walking with him. We would very much like to come back for another trek next year - and we would love to go with these guys again. The horse and the horseman (Vijay) were also very good and Paul really enjoyed riding it. We also really enjoyed the sightseeing in the Kathmandu valley and we had a good guide for this too. Our general impression is however that your agency is very well run and that you offer quality services which gave us an experience for life. We will come back and do treks in Nepal in the future, and will recommend Swiss Family Treks to everybody we meet who want to do family trekking in Nepal!
Kate and Family, 1 Adult and 1 Child, British Citizen
My 11 year old son and I had the most fantastic holiday in Nepal. As well as trekking in the most amazing landscapes of Annapurna Conservation Area (Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Ghandruck) with a lovely guide, we also enjoyed, hot springs a spa hotel, jungle exploration, elephant rides, white water rafting, cultural experiences and made new friends.
Michael Borg-Laufs and Family, 3 Adults and 1 Child, Germany
Das Team (Führer und Träger) war sehr freundlich und korrekt sowie darum bemüht, unsere "spontane Abweichung" bestmöglich in gute Aktion umzusetzen.. wir sind früher zurückgewandert, mit dem Auto ein ganzes Stück gebracht worden, unterwegs noch mit Besuch des tibetanischen Flüchtlingscamps, dann hoch in eine sehr schöne Lodge, zu der wir nur eine gute halbe Stunde steil hinauf mussten, das war okay. Am nächsten Tag sind wir dann von dort "nur" den Weg nach Pokhara heruntergelaufen und hatten dort einen schönen Nachmittag und Abend (an dem der Führer uns auch betreut hat). Also alles in allem: Sehr schön!
Katie Family, South African
"Matthew, Lily (2.5yrs) and I had a wonderful Trek to Poon Hill with the Swiss Family Trek team. Stephan also organised a great trip to Chitwan after our trek, we loved all the Elephants and the other animals were just great to be around. From the initial booking Stephan was great to deal with. On the ground in Nepal his team were friendly, organised and unobtrusive. All transport and accommodation was great and on-time which gave us peace of mind especially travelling with Little Lily. We hope to come back one day on another trip! Thanks again to the Stephan and his team"

Especially, the SFT team were very kids friendly during the whole trip. Our kids enjoyed very much their trekking. So we did! The program was well organized and fit for family with small children. This trip was worth, beautiful, excellent, interesting, enjoying... and we will surly come back again.
Maria Saberi & Loay Qarooni, 2 Adults/2 Children, Bahrain
My husband and I would like to thank you for the amazing Poonhill trekking experience. It was truly an achievement for us, sea level people, to climb the thousands of rocky slippery and steep mountain steps all the way to Poonhill and back. Special thanks to dear Mr Madan for taking such good care of us every step of the way. Such a humble and well-mannered person! Also thanks to Tikka and Lal for carrying our luggage up the mountain and back down and taking care of our meals' menu order!
Jinou Park, Korea
The 7-day trekking course near Annapurna was a memorable time for Cass and me. I read about Stephan's tour operation in The Guradian, contacted them and everything since has been smooth and easy experience from getting detailed itinerary, pre-trip planning, arrival at the Kathmandu airport, transfer and the trek. Our guide Karma Sherpa was professional and porter Mahindra was a 20-something herculean of sorts.
