Born and raised in the Himalayas. I am the native citizen of this beautiful country, Nepal. Traveling has always been my passion as there is so much to learn about the indigenous history and culture of the destinations.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in creating unique experiences and tailor-made itineraries for guests to Nepal, providing them with in-depth knowledge of the country."
How did you get involved in travel?
""Travel is a never-ending journey " my passion for this field started at an early age when my mother and I traveled to Darjeeling, India. I was too young to understand the meaning of travel but that was the early stage for me to know how traveling feels like."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"There are a lot of memories but one of the most mesmerizing memories that I have is the views of the Himalayas. Back in 2010, I did a short Annapurna circuit trek and I was astonished by the breathtaking view of Annapurna range. The mountains glowed like it was gold plated when the sun hit its rays every morning."

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.

Already from the planning point of view Kripa (our agent with KimKim) made sure we had all the right information and answered all our questions within 24 hours. She made a well shaped trip that fitted our wishes. Our guide Sonam was the best; she took well Care of us, had everything under control, and made sure we had the best rooms and views on our entire journey. It did not feel like walking with a guide, But more with a friend. Our porter Andjuk was a Young... Read more

From start to finish the planning and execution by the team was amazing. I did the 4 day trek up to Muldai and back down through Ghorepani, my guide Wanchhu was great throughout, making sure everything ran smoothly. Kripa was in constant communication and always made sure everything was answered when I had questions. Big thank you to Sushmita as well who went out of her way to get my phone back when I left it in a cab on the first day. This team really goes the extra mile and I will be definitely be using kimkim in the future and recommending it to other people.

Hi Cavin, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that our team's hard work paid off and that you had an enjoyable and seamless trip with us. It brings us joy to read your review and learn that you loved Wangchu's company throughout the entire trip.

Kripa was very patient in answering our many questions and was fantastic in organising the two weeks.
We did the 9-day trek to Ama Dablam base camp and visited Kathmandu and Bhaktapur.
The trek was fabulous. Our guide Suman was very helpful, punctual, friendly and always cheerful.
In addition, all the transport organised by kimkim was on time and the people we met were very friendly and... Read more

We had a wonderful time on our 7 day trek to Khopra Danda which we organised through Kripa from Himalayan Trails. She was so easy to deal with and informative. Our guide Tandu and porter Chhing were marvellous. They made sure that we were always looked after and comfortable. We had great weather and clear skies so the views of the Annapurna mountains was breathtaking. There was plenty of walking up and down hills so our trekking poles got plenty of use.

In general we think that the guides here are less professionell than in other countries. We had two different guides (Dawa and Pemba) and both experience were simillar. The guides here only give you information when you ask.
However it was always easy to communicate with Kripa. So with her we made good experiences.
We did like both treks so from the nature it was worth to visit Nepal.

Hi Sacha, I'm very sorry to hear that both of our guides were not able to meet your expectations. Your experience is one that we are not proud and as you may see from other reviews quite atypical.
Even though your experience was not great with our guide I'm happy to know that you were very much satisfied with the alternatives we have provided to you in return.
We appreciate your helpful and constructive feedback, which will help our service become better in the future and we hope you return soon!
Best,

Hi Peter, hope you both are well :)
Thank you for taking the time out for sharing your experience. Regarding the guides, I guess they were just taking extra care and being protective from their side but sorry to know you felt that way. For next time we'll make sure to brief this about to all of our guides. All in all, I'm happy you really had a wonderful time in Nepal with Lucille :)
Hope to see you in the coming days. Till then take care!

It was my first trip to Nepal and everything was handled perfectly. Kripa was very helpful and able to give good tips about the trek and the whole office worked to make sure that my experience was great. While the weather could have been more cooperative my guide was able to make adjustments and everything worked out great.

Hi Ed,
I hope you're doing well! Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us. It was a pleasure meeting you in person and organizing your trek.
Hope to see you again in coming days :)
