"Nepal is well known in Russia as the best place for trekking. However, many people think such travel as extreme and dangerous enough to travel with the family. And your company reveals Nepal as the country is a perfect place for family holidays, including traveling with children. But I would not recommend organizing such trips on their own. Much better to entrust this to experienced professionals. Only in this case, you can be sure and spend time at their vacation on fun, not on the solution of various problems.  In the first half of December, we had a trip to Langtang. Immediately I must say that we are not experienced trekkers, especially because our son (8 years old) was with us. So we are a little worried before the trip. But the organization and care of your company exceeded our expectations. Since arriving in Kathmandu and to return, we feel your concern, and we thank you for that. Our route follows the thrilling ride, and we were able to fully enjoy the pristine natural beauty of Himalayas. Like the pioneers of past times we walked a narrow path along the cliffs and wild mountain rivers. We met people whose lives flows as well as it did in the past, in harmony with nature, in accordance with ancient Buddhist tradition. Especially I would like to acknowledge the important role of our guide Shangbu, whose experience and help make our trip safe and comfortable.
We can describe our impressions from this trip, but no description of what can replace personal experience. So I recommend to anyone who is thinking about a trip to leave your doubts, and ready for a trip to the realization of his dream. I can say that this trip is very united and strengthen the family. So it was a wonderful experience and training for our son. On the practical side, I would also recommend hiring horses. This variant of travel is not only easier, but also more interesting, colorful.
We thank Swiss Family, and personally, Stefan for organizing a warm attention to our family and we hope to meet again. I would like to recommend to all travelers going on holiday to Nepal, feel free to contact this company. Best regards, Vlad and Elena Gabayduliny.

Dear Stephan, and SFT team,
We enjoyed our trip to Langtang very much, even if it was raining a lot.
Anyway, we had the possibility to see the mountains on one day and managed to climb the Kyanjin Ri. We enjoyed the company of our guide and porter, they were very friendly and helpful and gave a lot of information about the valley, nature and people. Unfortunately I am not able to upload some fotos here in Kathmandu , because I left my cable in Germany, but as soon as I arrive next week , I will send some more text and fotos. Thanks a lot for the organisation, We felt very comfortable and in good hands with your team!
You will hear more from us soon!

Dear Stefan,
First of all, thank you so much for organizing our Langtang trek at the beginning of this month...our experience was even better than expected in most ways.
We particularly appreciated (in no particular order)
- The Nirvana Garden hotel - ideally situated, calm, with just the right level of comfort.
- The professionalism and safety-consciousness of Sanbulama and the porters and horse driver.
- The choice of guest houses along the way. Especially the Lama Hotel and the monastery, our favorites....
- The exceptionally smooth running of the whole operation. Everything was on time, we had what were obviously the best rooms at all of our stops, all communication was clear and easy.
- Sambulama's really excellent level of English and readiness to answer any of our questions about local culture, history, etc etc. I can't believe he never attended secondary school.
- The good quality sleeping bags, liners and the hard hat for our little horse rider.
Best Regards,
Emily, Hugues and Family

• Langtang Classic Family Lodge Trek, Kathmandu Valley Hiking and Chitwan Tour, 28 Days 11 April to 08 May 2014

In 2001, my husband and I visited Nepal to trek. We did not have children at that time, but we said that if we ever did have kids we wanted to come back as a family. In 2014, we decided to travel back to Nepal with our 11 year old and 8 year old sons. Travelling on such a big adventure with children, we wanted to go with a company who would understand our needs as a family and ensure that everything was safe, secure and enjoyable so that we could have an amazing experience with our kids. Swiss Family Treks helped us have the trip of a lifetime! Our memories of our month in Nepal have filled our hearts and souls for many years to come.
The countryside of Nepal is breathtaking and stunning, but some of our best memories are of the wonderful people we met along our treks. I still smile when I think of us walking through the Himalayas with our amazing guide singing in Tibetan as we travelled along. We made great friends with the porters and I have memories of my children trekking along with them side by side chatting about their lives. All of the staff that we met through SFT were amazing, professional, kind and spoke highly of the company they worked for. While we did not know it at the time, we feel even more pleased that we chose SFT to help us on our trip when we heard the people who work for them speak so proudly of the company. Limits on the weight of porter loads and only using local guides from the areas to encourage employment in their home region were just some of the initiatives that we heard the guides and porters talk about. We felt proud to use a company who treated their amazing employees with respect and fairness.
Our children made us proud with their ability to travel with their eyes wide open and their heart accepting of everything around them. They travelled with ease and I believe they will be better people because of this rich experience. I thank SFT for giving us the comfort and confidence to embark on such an enormous and profound family experience!
