Your Gateway to the Himalayas
For over 15 years, we've been guiding adventurers through Nepal's most breathtaking landscapes, creating memories that last a lifetime.
Born in the Heart of the Himalayas
Swissa Nepal was founded in 2009 by Ram Gurung, a seasoned mountaineer who grew up in the shadow of the Annapurna range. His vision was simple: to share the authentic beauty of Nepal with travelers from around the world.
What started as a small operation with just two guides has grown into one of Nepal's most respected trekking companies. Yet our core philosophy remains unchanged – we believe that the best adventures are those that connect you with nature, culture, and yourself.
Today, our team of over 50 expert guides leads thousands of happy travelers each year through the Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, and Manaslu regions. We've been recognized with multiple awards for our commitment to safety, sustainability, and authentic experiences.
