DEBRAY Family, 2 Adults 3 Children, France
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.
Nicole & Lee, Canada
Thank you Swiss Family Treks (Stephan, and all the staff, guides and porters) for being so fantastic! We truly enjoyed our time spent in Nepal and would highly recommend your company to anyone who plans on visiting!
Olivia and Luke - UK
I cannot thank you enough for the incredible experience we had in Nepal. I have been with many tour groups across the world and this trip was by far the best organized. It was truly fantastic and I will remember this trip for many years to come. I will be recommending you to friends and family and will not hesitate to get back in contact if I make a return journey to Nepal.
Hunt Family, New Zealand
We travelled to Pokhara with our guide Lalu and spent the day sightseeing before starting our 6 day Poon Hill trek in the Annapurnas. Lalu was a great guide. He looked after our children and was lots of fun. He understood what we wanted from the trek and delivered a fantastic experience. We recommend SFTE as a quality organisation who provided a wonderful and safe family experience holiday.
Rob Chad and Todd Bell, 2 Adults, Canadian
Thanks to all of you for an exceptional experience in Nepal. Both Todd and I were absolutely overwhelmed by the beauty of the country and the culture. It has been sad to have left all that behind.
Ronen Zaidel Bar and Family 2 Adults and 4 Children, Israeli
We are back from Nepal. How was it? Incredible! Of course it was difficult, and we heard a lot of complaining, especially because of the cold. Everyone had their low points along the way, but we each had our highs too, and more than once all our spirits and bodies were high high on top of the world!
Roswitha and Family, 2 Adults and 1 Child, Germany
Rückblickend können wir einstimmig sagen: suuuuper toll! Was für mich wirklich klasse ist: gemeinsam mit deinen Leuten konnten wir unsere Tochter Valerie unglaublich vom Land Nepal, den Leuten, den Bergen und den Tieren begeistern (genau das hatten wir uns ja erhofft). Sie hat wohl in der Schule derartig begeistert davon vor der Klasse im Detail erzählt.Ihrer Meinung nach war das bisher der schönste Urlaub, den wir bisher gemacht haben — und du weißt, wir sind in Sachen Urlaub keine Kinder von Traurigkeit.
Ryan and Family - USA
Any future trips to Nepal will definitely include them. Look no further for an organization that is committed to clear communication, personalized planning, high caliber guides and staff, incredible emergency response (if needed) and a commitment to Nepal itself. I cannot express how wonderful they made our Nepal experience.
Dr. Shehla, Pakistan
I really want to say, you have been very professional and prompt in replying to all my mails. Rather been patient dealt to all my constraints.Your tourist guide has been a very astute and patient person. I experienced peace with his kindness. It has been a great journey and you organized things very promptly and nicely for me.
Simon Family and Vivion Family, 4 Adults and 4 Children, USA
We had a great 5-day trek with Swiss Family. Our two young children (1 and 4) really loved the experience and your guides and porters were really nice in the way that they were always ready to play with them and keep the whole trip very fun for them (and us).
Grades Explanation
Grade (Easy)
Easy trekking by Himalayan standards is generally up to 2000m. There are plenty of ups and downs on well-maintained trails. This type of trip is best suited for those who lead a reasonably active life. The trek takes about 3 to 7 days, walking about 4 to 5 hours a day.
Grade (Moderate)
This involves longer treks (five to ten days) on maintained trails. This type of trek includes day excursions to higher elevations, for which it's advisable to have some previous hill- walking experience. On these treks, we generally achieve an altitude between 900m to 3000m.
Grade (Moderate to strenuous)
A reasonably demanding trek at an altitude up to 4000m with side trips to higher elevations. The trails are sometimes uncharted and away from inhabited areas.
Grade (Strenuous)
These treks must be fully supported. We climb to altitudes between 3500 and 5000m. & there are overnight stays at altitudes above 4000m. For this trek, trekkers should be fit & enthusiastic hill walkers prepared to tackle difficult terrain in remote areas.
Grade (Very Strenuous)
This trek is best described as Alpine, and suitable is suitable for those in excellent health, capable of carrying a backpack, when required. The trek covers very remote areas, traveling over snow-covered passes at an altitudes of up to 6500m. You will need to axes and crampons. No strenuous trek should be undertaken without medical clearance.
