Giving back to the
communities that
make our trips possible
5% of every Swotah trip funds local kitchens, trail crews, homestay families and post-earthquake rebuild work in the regions our trekkers visit. This isn't a policy — it's who we are.
Three pillars of responsibility
Every year since 2017, Swotah has funded scholarships for students in remote trekking regions — providing school materials, bags and support to children in villages that receive little outside investment. The programme grows every year.
Nepal's only carbon-neutral travel agency. Our "Trash Man" programme ensures responsible waste management on every trek. Strict no single-use plastic policies, biodegradable supplies, and carbon offsetting for every itinerary we run.
From post-earthquake reconstruction to supporting local kitchens, homestay families and trail maintenance crews — 5% of every booking goes directly into the communities along our routes. Tourism that gives back rather than takes.

Tourism that strengthens
the communities it visits
Every trek we run is designed to leave the mountains — and the people who call them home — better than we found them. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Every trip you book
