Kunchok Nima

Amazing trek. Our guide Gyaljan and our porter Khawa were superb. They looked after us exceptionally well, from our arrival in Kathmandu to our return to Pokhara. They made sure we had the best rooms in the tea houses and even woke us up some mornings when we nearly overslept..! We had lots of laughs along the way 😁. The trek itself was superb. The Thorang La was tricky and requires a reasonable level of fitness, but the sense of achievement was incredible. Would recommend this trek and our guide/porter/friends Gyaljan and Khawa to anyone who wants to experience this area.

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!

Absolutely incredible trip. Our guide, sherpa and porter were all awesome. We saw some spectacular sights and it was the trip of a lifetime.

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.

My cousin and I did the Pikey Peak trek in 5 days, this was the perfect trek to do if you have only a few days of vacation to take in Nepal. You will see just about everything in a short amount of time including Everest if you are lucky and get a clear day up on Pikey Peak. Kunchock was fantastic in setting up our itinerary and really made sure we were safe the whole time. We even had some flight issues getting to Nepal but Kunchock made sure everything was adjusted to fit our schedule. 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!

Very nice hotel I felt like I was in a hotel back home in the United States, the food was great at the restaurant upstairs and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is great as well since it is not to far from the market in case you wanted to buy any souvenirs.

Drive from Kathmandu to Dhap, Trek to Japre (2920 m)

Nepal

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.

Trek from Jhapre to Pikey Base Camp

The first part of the trek was not to difficult and a perfect length for just getting done with a 6 hour car drive. You will see prayer flags, stupas and some animals on the way up to base camp

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.

Kunchok was great, he helped us get everything we need and ensure we were safe :)
Would recommend anyone that want a safe and fun trip to find him

My Father-In-Law and I had a fantastic trip to Nepal! I want to thank Kim Kim for providing an excellent platform for planning and communication. The are no words for how wonderful Kunchok and the Responsible Treks Team were. Everyone was very patient, flexible, and attentive to our varying interests and needs. Our trip was a whirlwind Buddhist pilgrimage/sight-seeing adventure/cultural experience/trek--in the Kathmandu Valley area, Bandipur, Pokhara, and Annapurna. The guides Raman and Pratiksha provided unparalleled expertise and good company. Our trekking guide Chhiring became like a new brother to me. He really went out of his way to share and shape my experience. I hope to return as soon as I can! Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with me.
