Kunchok Nima

Born in the Himalaya & in Buddhist family, I was taught from very small age to treat our guests and people with great respect and help them with whatever or however we can. Having managerial skill and love for outer activities, I was lucky to make it to tourism world after my graduation. Since then it has always been about me traveling or arranging travel holiday for others.

Personally for me, traveling doesn’t have to be luxuries. I love my weekend and vacation to be very smooth and full of attachment to the culture and people of respective destination because i believe there are various things one cannot find in internet.
Nepal, being blessed with rich culture, landscape & favorable weather condition, there is never an off season for making your trip here. Additionally we provide you a great opportunity to get involved in various cultures, history and lifestyles of Nepalese. We, taking great part in sustainable tourism, all our trips involves local people from respective places , Eco Friendly , offering one to experience Nepal in best possible way.

Considering your needs and wants, we can customize any types of treks and tours making assured that it’s your dream trip and wanting you to come back for more.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Talking about specialties, other than customized treks all around the Himalayas, especially the Annapurna part , I am “The Expert ” in exploring the central part of Kathmandu combined with Rafting, Jungle Safari in South-West and of course a short trek in the west of Nepal ! Best way to discover Nepal in short period of time without having to climb high mountains! Especially family holiday trips and culture tours !
"

How did you get involved in travel?

"Before I was in travel business , I used to work as manager in hotel. Sometimes I have to work 24*7 for months. With so much stress from work, I used take short trip or holiday after every 4-5 months. That’s how I learnt about the importance of traveling. Since then I have been taking trips to different places and arranging others for the same. I strongly believe that “Travel is the best investment you can make for yourself “"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Traveling has always been great part of my life. Being workaholic by nature, I was always in need for holiday. I was fortunate to travel to few of countries and experience their unique culture and places. I also got opportunity to visit many of unique places around The Great Himalayas. Among all I would highlight my unplanned trek to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) the best and most unique. Me along with one of my American friend and my cousin, made an unplanned trip to ABC. We got permits, guides and equipments all sorted in matter of 6-7 hours and next day we were all ready for trip. The fact that it was so unique was that everyone had great understanding and was our first trek ever beside the guide. Sometimes we walked 10 hours a day while sometimes just 2 hours! As we reached the destination I had the best feeling ever. That feeling of accomplishment. Priceless. That’s how I felt in love with mountains and that was 10 years ago! "

This was an amazing trip. We had a great time with Rikzin. He had a great personality and was very knowledgeable and made sure that we were safe and happy on our trek to Everest Base Camp. We both happened to have birthdays while on the trek, and he made sure that we each got cake and were celebrated. The entire trip to Nepal was so well planned and everything went seamlessly. Highly recommend!

I travelled to Nepal to visit the Himalayas, Chitwan and Kathmandu. It was a very memorable experience with a good combination of high mountains, rainforest, busy Kathmandu and last but not least; the Nepali culture.

My 5 days trip to the Mustang regionJomsom, Kagbeni, Muktinath and Marpha with magnificent view of the Annapurna range was a wonderful experience. My guide Chhiring Lama had all the local knowledge you can ask for and always made sure that I had a good time and things (lodging, food, transportation and more) went well.

Next I went to Chitwan to go on safari in the national park to see the wildlife there. I saw plenty of rhinos and also a tiger. Always exiting.

In Kathmandu I went on a couple of day excursions seeing famous sights and monasteries in the Kathmandu valley.
When travelling, I like not to have all days organized, but to have some days without a program and do what I like.

Kunchok well understood this and let me be do my own things when I wanted to, but was always awailable (on whatsapp) to arrange and assist as required. Perfect.

KimKim ( and their partner Responsible Treks) can be recommended as a competent, service minded and trustworthy partner on your trip to Nepal.

Interaction with the KimKim platform was incredibly easy and Kunchok was extremely helpful and responsive. He compiled a diverse itinerary that kept us moving from location to location, which is exactly what we wanted.

We enjoyed staying at Pema Boutique Hotels as the location was excellent -right by the Buddha Stupa. This was the perfect introduction to Kathmandu.

Flying to Pokhura is preferred over flying and we had a quick flight on Yeti Air. We loved the Hotel Barahi in Pokhura. Ideal location, charming grounds and great food. Our guide for trekking to ABC was fantastic! Pema was knowledgeable, patient, kind and happy to adapt our itinerary to add in an extra hike. The small chalet at ABC camp was magical! The food was good and the coffee was surprisingly excellent.

The trip to Nagarkot was interesting in the fact that we stayed at an all-inclusive resort. This is not normally our preference, however, the balcony to the room afforded amazing views. This quirky small town was the source of many giggles, so it made the stop worthwhile. If going to Naragkot please make a stop at the long suspension bridge - breathtaking scenery and a long bridge leading to small waterfalls.

The Hotel Ambassador was comfortable and had a great rooftop bar. We would normally want something more traditional but this was an excellent choice, just 10 minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of Thamel.

Overall the trip was wonderfully planned and expertly executed! Thank you to WikiLama, Pema and Kunchok for an unforgettable experience. Thank you!

I want to say thanks to Kunchok and his team for a wonderful experience. My brother and I visited Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Nagarkot for a week long trip in October 2022. The trip was an adventure and we had the opportunity to trek, explore the towns, and go river rafting. Kunchok was an excellent host and made sure everything went smoothly. We had enough downtime to enjoy the experience and I highly recommend KimKim and Kunchok in particular.

Dolma was our tour guide for the trek and I could not have asked for a better one, she let us customize and do just about anything we wanted to during the trek and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable on the Pikey Peak area. Definitely going back the only thing I would say about my trip was I wish I personally had more time!

I must say although of course the trek and the peak was the highlight of the trip, my favorite part was just driving to the trek start location. It was about a 6 hour drive and I got to see so many different villages and farms that you pass through along the way. This was something I enjoyed since I could see many different parts of the country and lifestyles other then the city and the mountains.

Our trip to Nepal was everything we imagined it would be plus more, and it was all thanks to Kunchok Nima and all of our guides. We explored Kathmandu with a wonderful guide that took us to Hindu and Buddhist temples and taught us all about the culture. We then went to Pokhara where we white water rafted (Raju was an amazing guide) and started our two day trek. Our trekking guide Chhiring is one of our favorite people we met on this journey. His knowledge about trekking and his country in general was amazing. The trek was a wonderful experience and even though I wanted to give up multiple times I would do it again. Chhiring not only was our trekking guide but he did a tour around the city of Pokhara with us and even offered to take us to see a few places (the Kopan Monastery was beautiful) in Kathmandu when we got back. I can say Chirring is someone we love to visit with again. Our last stop on our trip was to Chitwan National Park. The resort was beautiful and the food was delicious. In Chitwan we got to explore the animals of the jungle on foot, on the back of an elephant and on a canoe ride. Our favorite part of the jungle experience was when we were able to bathe and play with them in the river. The last the we did was a flight to the Himalayan mountains which was breathtaking and highly recommended. The whole process of planning the trip and communicating with our local specialist was so easy. Kunchok was there to help me every step of the way and ease any worry or concern I may of had. We truly appreciate Nima, our guides, and all the people of Nepal that were so welcoming. We will definitely be using Kim Kim and Responsible Treks again on our next trip to Nepal.
