Our family of 6 (including two sets of twins ages 9, 9, 12 and 12) spent the month of April 2026 in Nepal trekking from Ringmo/Taksindu to Everest Base Camp and return to Lukla. It was our first time at elevation, however we are no strangers to challenging backpacking trips and adventure travel. This was our second international trip with Kim-Kim and I highly recommend their services to connect you with the best guides in a region and to reduce the stress of coordination and language barriers. In particular, this trip to Nepal was so phenomenal that this review cannot convey the level of connection and respect that we gained for our trekking team, their families, and the villages that we travelled through. You can find a break down of our journey at miller-6 dot com through the eyes of our kids.

What truly set this experience apart was the incredible dedication of our organizer, Ngima. We came to Nepal with a specific desire to give back to two community schools and two monasteries. My children purchased and delivered smart boards, uniform supplies, delivered postcards from our hometown and distributed 400 hand sewn school supply bags during the first 5 days of our trip. Ngima put immense effort into organizing the logistics and seamlessly weaving the school visits into our itinerary. It was a profound, beautifully managed experience that our family will treasure forever, and it wouldn't have happened without Ngima’s passion and hard work.

Our lead trail guide, Nuru Jangbu Sherpa, was a true master of his craft. Knowing his impressive guiding achievements and the massive expeditions he has led, we were humbled to trek with him. Yet, he had a remarkable way of making our family’s journey feel just as monumental and impressive as any world-class summit. His son, Pemba Sherpa, who runs the family tea house in Paiya with his wife, joined us for the trek as a second guide and added a youthful maturity to the trip. He was always eager to play soccer or build a tower out of playing cards with our children and was an excellent role model for them to look up to.

The team’s attentiveness to our health and safety was world-class. They monitored our well-being constantly, ensuring everyone felt strong and secure at every altitude. Each day we would fill out a table of metrics for each family member, including blood oxygen monitoring. When health fluctuations and altitude sickness required us to pivot our plan, the team adjusted our itinerary flawlessly on the fly, never making us feel like a burden or that we had fell short of an achievement. They replaced the original plan with something that was equally (if not more) incredible.

The kindness, warmth, and constant smiles of Nuru, Pemba, and our incredible team of porters completely stole our hearts. Their strength is unmatched, but it is their gentle kindness that we will remember most. As a family that has travelled all over the world, including sailing across the Pacific Ocean on our catamaran for 2 years, this is the trip that our kids want to repeat over and over again.

Final Thoughts
If you are planning a trip to Nepal and want an experience that combines flawless logistics, unparalleled safety, deep cultural connection, and a team that feels like family, look no further. Ngima, Nuru, Pemba, and the entire crew gave us more than just a trek—they gave us a lifelong bond with the Himalayas and its beautiful people. Five stars doesn't feel like enough but I hope that this review encourages you to take your own adventure to Nepal, specifically taking the time to explore communities that are on the fringes of high tourist areas. This is where the experience reached a elevated level of connection for our tribe of 6. Good luck!

Our guide, through the Annapurna Conservation Area, Keshu Sherpa was amazing. She was attentive and very mindful of us. We can't say enough good things about her! Raj's briefing was very clear. Bipin's logistical support was very attuned and our drivers were skilled and punctual.

Booked a trip last minute (2 weeks prior) and Sangita helped to arrange for everything within 2-3 days. Apart from that, she also managed to use her local connections to get me paragliding and silver making workshop at short notice whilst I was on the trip.

I had the opportunity to visit multiple cities (Kathmandu/Patan - cities, nagarkot/chisapani - mountain trek overnight stops and multiple other small villages)

The guides for my mountain trek (Bhim) and city tours (Rajiv) were also amazing. In particular, Rajiv was incredibly knowledgeable and managed to answer a lot of my random questions!!

To be very honest, I was really apprehensive about booking with them at first, especially since nepal isn't a common travel destination. However, by the end of my short 9 days trip, I was left wanting more.

In short, if you're thinking about visiting Nepal, dont hesitate!! Highly recommended country and book with this company :)

Ngima was a great help and made arrangements according to traveler’s wishes before and even during the trip. Hotels were very pleasant and transport by bus and plane were comfortable. Expectations about tipping were shared and he was able to fluently explain the trip plan and local cultural context. I felt so safe and reassured at all times. Had such a wonderful and memorable time.

We had an amazing trip, made even more special by our wonderful guides.

Pratikshya, our expert guide in Kathmandu, has an impressive knowledge of the city’s history and culture. She helped us truly understand the traditions behind each place we visited. She was very accommodating, took great care of us, and communicated clearly in English throughout the trip.

Hem, our local guide in Pokhara, was incredibly familiar with the trail—he seemed to know every turn by heart. He was kind, reliable, and made the hike feel both safe and enjoyable. He also communicated well in English, which made everything easier.

Hemanta, our guide in Chitwan, who is from the Tharu community, gave us a deeper appreciation of the area. His connection to the place was evident, as he shared insights into village life, as well as the local wildlife and natural surroundings.

All the transfers were well taken care of, and everything—from our accommodations to each transaction—went smoothly. Special thanks to Amanda and her team for ensuring everything was seamless and stress-free.

Overall, we felt very well taken care of and learned so much from each of them. Highly recommended!

A unique and peaceful stay within the monastery grounds, allowing us to be immersed in the presence and daily life of the monks. The garden is beautiful and adds to the serene atmosphere.

Explore Kathmandu: Patan and Boudhanath

Kathmandu

A great cultural immersion experience. Patan, known as the “City of Art,” gave us a deeper appreciation of Nepal’s history, craftsmanship, and way of life. Boudhanath Stupa is a must-visit—it’s the largest stupa and a vibrant spiritual hub, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and cafés, making the visit both meaningful and enjoyable.

We are still acquainting ourselves with the food since most are unfamiliar to us.

Early Morning Mt Everest Scenic Flight

One of the best decisions we made. Seeing the Himalayan giants up close was unforgettable. The flight crew guided us throughout, pointing out each mountain, and we were also given a pamphlet with labeled peaks, which made the experience more informative and engaging.

Explore Swoyambunath The Monkey Temple, Kathmandu Durbar Square and Pashupatinath

Kathmandu

Kathmandu Durbar Square can feel overwhelming due to its size and richness in detail, but having a knowledgeable guide made it much more enjoyable and easy to appreciate. Visiting Pashupatinath gave us a deeper understanding of Hindu cremation practices—while not the most visually aesthetic, it was a meaningful and eye-opening cultural experience.

Pokhara

A well-rounded introduction to Pokhara—from the lake experience to caves and scenic spots. Despite our delayed flight, our guide ensured we still covered everything.
