"The trip of our life"
When we got our visa at the Airport in February 2014, we realized that the adventure has just begun! A driver and a representative of the Swiss Family Treks awaited us with a big smile at the airport. They brought us safely to the hotel and gave us all the information needed — we were in such good hands from...

Dear Stephan,
In November 2014, my partner and I (who are Canadian) enjoyed an amazing trek up to Tengboche, Nepal for the annual Mani Rimdu festival. Swiss Family Treks made all the difference in our experience while traveling Nepal. From the moment I first emailed them to inquire about the trek, they were quick to respond and extremely helpful. I am so happy I stumbled across the company...
