I am Ajay Shrestha, a mountain guide, group leader, and passionate traveler. After completing my schooling in India, I furthered my academic journey by pursuing a Master’s in Business Studies and am currently diving into an MPhil-PhD in International Relations and Diplomacy, proudly hailing from Tanahun, Nepal, a stone’s throw away from the country’s tourism heart.
Our tour operator was born from my passion for these adventures, a testament to turning a love for the mountains into a mission. To me, traveling in the Himalayas is more than discovering new places; it’s about discovering oneself. That’s the ethos we stand by.

My journey begins amidst the picturesque landscapes of Uttarakhand, a region renowned for its natural beauty that captivates travelers from all corners of the Indian subcontinent. It was here that my dormant passion for trekking and exploration was ignited, eventually evolving into a vocation as I pursued my studies in tourism.
Through my work, I channel this passion to fulfill the dreams of my fellow travelers, crafting bespoke experiences that unveil the essence of India's rich culture and vibrant festivals.

I was born and raised in Solukhumbu, in the Lower Everest region. Hearing this, people often ask if I’ve climbed Mount Everest (sarcastically). Well, not yet! But I take great pride in having organised numerous treks to Everest and many other breathtaking destinations across Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan.
As an avid traveller, one of my favourite adventures so far has been a motorbiking tour to Mustang with friends. I'm also a passionate foodie who loves discovering new flavours wherever I go. I can't wait to share some of Nepal’s best dishes with you!
Currently, I’m studying Tourism in college(Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management) while working in the field I love.

I was born and brought up in Varanasi, one of the oldest cities in the world. I have been living in Delhi for over two decades and have travelled extensively across India, Nepal, and Bhutan. My favourite destinations are Rajasthan and Nepal—I love the countryside of Rajasthan and the warmth and hospitality of its people, and I enjoy hiking in the mountains of Nepal.
With over 20 years of experience working in these destinations, I bring expert knowledge and insight to create personalized and memorable private tours for travellers.

What travelers say about local travel agents
Steve
“My wife and I just finished a terrific trip to Nepal, which we arranged through Swotah Travel. We found Swotah through the Insight Guides guidebook to Nepal. Through several months of online and email discussions and planning, Swotah helped us plan the trip of a lifetime within our moderate budget. In Nepal Swotah staff Elisha (can't remember her last name) and Sijal Rana coordinated our activities, and local guides Basansta Raimaji (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Nagarkot) and Dipak and Anita Bastola (Pokhara) were outstanding in their understanding, communication, hospitality and ability to add context to the sights we were seeing. We are generally independent travelers who don't go on large tours and who set our own agendas, but we decided we needed help to negotiate Nepal, make hotel and travel arrangements and assist us in getting to the places we wanted to see. Basansta, Dipak and Anita added a tremendous amount to our trip. We went to Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur, Nagarkot, Chitwan National Park and Pokhara before returning to Kathmandu and coming home. We went on an Everest viewing flight and enjoyed tremendous views of the Himalayas, especially from Nagarkot near Kathmandu and Sarangkot near Pokhara. We saw magnificent Hindu shrines and Buddhist stupas, and the explanations we received from Basansta, Dipak and Anita added greatly to our appreciation. Finally, Swotah's owner both greeted us on our first day in Kathmandu and met with us on our final evening to discuss how the trip went. We both want to return to Nepal and would be very happy to use Swotah again to make our arrangements. We give them our highest recommendation.”

FAQs About Our Local Travel Agents in Nepal
Why is local expertise important when planning a trip to Nepal?−
Nepal's mountain routes depend on altitude, weather, trail access, permits and transport to remote starting points. Domestic flights and roads can also disrupt rigid schedules. A local expert can select a trek suited to your fitness, arrange qualified guides and porters, build acclimatization and contingency time into the route and coordinate cultural or wildlife travel around the trek.
