- Raj, who ensured the trip went smoothly
- Dawa and Kumar, who guided us around the Kathmandu valley, weaving through beautiful towns and villages, getting us to amazing places to see crisp views of the Himalayan Range
- Ritesh, who made the quiet town of Panauti come alive with his stories, and both Ritesh and Dawa for a lovely home made dinner!

110% worth the experience, and according to Dawa, Annapurna and Everest base camps will be no problem for us! Looking forward to visiting again!

Hi Himesh
I'm glad you loved it! I had a lot of fun creating your itinerary. It feels good to know that our efforts paid off. Annapurna and Everest definitely sound like a great idea! Just let me know when you're planning to come back and the mountains here will be waiting for you!

Grishma:)

One of our favorite adventures. Amanda was extremely helpful and responsive in planning and making adjustments to accommodate our input. The guides were great, always flexible and kind. The trek was beautiful with lots of interesting sights and villages along the way. It was exactly what we were looking for.

From my first contact with Amanda I knew that I had found the ideal person to work with for my upcoming trek in Nepal. Amanda is an excellent communicator, friendly, quick to respond and worked efficiently to curate the perfect itinerary for my needs. Her enthusiasm for her role is obvious, allowing me to be certain I had found the right fit for me.
The trek itself ran very smoothly. Gelu, our guide, was exceptional - an intelligent, conscientious and professional gentleman whose knowledge and experience added greatly to our experience. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Sange, our porter, is a reliable, hardworking and caring soul whose frequent smiles were heartwarming.
All in all, our entire experience with Kimkim and Himalayan trails was way beyond our expectations. Many thanks to a fantastic team!

It was an unforgettable Nepal trip. The communication, planning, support, service and expertise were second to none. Kripa, Susmita, Tendu and his brother and brother-in-law, our city guide in Kathmandu, all the drivers were all such good people. The trip itself was well thought through for our needs and expectations. The accommodation in the teahouses and hotels were well planned. And we even got a momento! How thoughtful is that. Thank you for all the effort and friendliness. Wishing you everything of the best.

It was an amazing trip, and we are already planning our next visit.

I wanted to do a trekking in the Himalayas for quite some years, and finally chose to book with Kimkim. From the beginning to the end, Amanda is very helpful in answering questions, helping us getting ready for the trip, helping resolving problems and ensuring everyone has the best experience possible.

My guide Chhiring was very knowledgeable and professional. He introduced a lot of knowledge about the history of Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circle to me. He made sure I'm properly taken care of each day and the pace is a one that I'm comfortable with. He helped modify the schedule a bit so we have an extra day on the main circle, which is very helpful with resting and acclimation. He arranged with other teams to make sure I stay in the same hotel that my newly-met trekking friends stays at, which makes the trip more fun to me as a lone trekker. The great attention to detail that he has made this trip an outstanding experience.

My porter Ngima is also very helpful in transporting my luggage, helping me with meal orders, preparing fruits for every meal and marching to hotels with my heavy luggage in fast speed to ensure I get the best room possible. What he does is not easy, and I greatly appreciate all the effort to make sure my experience is an outstanding one.

I'll definitely come back for more trekking in the future, now that I have been amazed by both the beauty of the himalayas and how helpful the trekking staffs are!
