I thought this tour was great - it did what it said on the tin! My tour mostly ran during May, but the last part - Tibet - was in June. This was not a good time of year for mountain views (except in Tibet) but it was great for seeing wildflowers and jacaranda in Bhutan and to benefit from fresh lychees in Nepal! The description indicated quite a lot of overland travel, especially in the Tibet part, so it wasn't a surprise. Bus travel in Nepal is a bit gruelling mostly due to large road infrastructure improvement schemes, so road travel should be smoother in future years. It is an interesting way to see the country, and the bus company Swotah use was pretty good. In Tibet, the road infrastructure is amazing and the very widespread surveillance 'noticeable'. Guides in every location were excellent, especially in Bhutan and Tibet where it was the same guide and driver for the entire time. In the Nepal part, there were different guides in different locations (e.g. Chitwan, Pokhara etc). I only booked a couple of months before the tour, and didn't realise I could have said more of this or less of that, as I thought it was a group tour. It turned out that I was the only person on the Bhutan and Nepal parts, and in a group only for the Tibet part. This was probably a good balance. The tour is shared between different local travel companies in different countries – the organisation was pretty seamless and Swotah – and travel consultant Sijal – were in touch regularly to answer questions and support. Communications are obviously more restricted in Tibet, where the only app I could access on my mobile was my work email, but who wants to have their face in their mobile on a tour like this! A word of advice – the Tibet tour involves time spent at over 5,000 metres; although we were not doing much that was strenuous, all six of us experienced some altitude impacts (headaches, very rapid breathing & dizziness) so I’d recommend you take along some Diamox – in case. On my last evening in Kathmandu, Sijal took me to the Swayamhunath Stupa, on his motorcycle.. This was a pretty special and memorable way to end the experience.Show more

Our trip was simply unforgettable! The fantastically organized tour exceeded all our expectations. The staff at Swotah Travel were very committed and always available, which gave us a sense of security. We would particularly like to highlight the perfectly organized trekking tour. Our tour guide, Ms. Chak Maya Garbuja, had a great deal of mountain experience and an enormous amount of cultural knowledge, which she shared with us. The interesting background information about the history of the villages, the different ethnic groups and the flora and fauna enriched our experience even more. The guide was very attentive and helpful, which made the experience even better. It was the best trip of our lives and we are sure that we will book another trekking trip with Swotah Travel for more adventures!Show more
