Ngima Dorji Sherpa

Ngima has been running his trekking company out of Kathmandu since the mid-90s. He specializes in treks and adventure travel in Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. His work in the travel industry has enabled him to visit many countries across the world, including the United States, England, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, Austria, and The Netherlands.

In addition to being a successful travel entrepreneur, Ngima has initiated and implemented several charitable projects in his village, including founding 2 schools, a Tibetan monastery, and a hospital. Ngima was born in Kharikola, a village on the classic trail to Everest, and now lives with his wife and 2 sons in Kathmandu, Nepal.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I’ve arranged numerous trips throughout Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet, but I’m most familiar with the Solu Khumbu where I grew up, obviously. I know the trails, peaks and villages around there very well. Most trekkers opt to fly into the Everest region and miss out on the secret gems that lie on the trail between Jiri and Lukla.

I specialize mainly in trekking and mountaineering, but also organize a number of charity and community projects in the Solu Khumbu that specialize in bringing medical supplies to local villages. We have also been working on a project to connect foreign students with local schools in the area. And since the earthquake in 2015, we’ve been helping repair the homes of villagers around the village I grew up in, Kharikhola. I’m excited about helping people have local, authentic experiences."

How did you get involved in travel?

"When I was ten years old, Sir Edmund Hillary came to the Solu Khumbu, near where I was born, to help fund a school. Inspired by his visit, I enrolled as a porter in Lukla, and eventually moved to Kathmandu to join my uncle’s trekking business. In 1991, I spent three months in the U.K. which improved my English and motivated me to enrol in a guiding course and start guiding for a Dutch company operating out of Summit hotel in Kathmandu. Finally, I started my own agency - Nepal Myths and Mountains Trails - in 1996 and have been running that ever since."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"When I was a porter, at that time, we didn’t have any shoes while carrying our heavy loads. Everyone around us was wearing comfortable shoes and socks, of course. At the end of one of our treks up to Everest Base Camp, a couple French members in our group left us each with a great pair of hiking boots that lasted for years to come. A small act of kindness, sure, but it made all the difference to my feet for the next 3 years! "

We built up a close relationship with them over the week we were trekking and we're going to miss them now that the trek is over.

I booked my Everest Three Pass Trip with Ngima Dorji Sherpa through the kimkim site. From the start Ngima was fast with providing answers to my questions and was clearly knowledgeable. I decided to chose his guiding company in large part because I wanted a local company and learned Ngima runs the only Sherpa owned guiding operation in Nepal. Once the trip started Ngima was fabulous with airport pick up and the tour of Kathmandu. He was generous enough to invite me and two other trekkers to a book launch party (Step by Step!) and we enjoyed an amazing night and dance party. Nigma somehow arranged me to fly to Lukla direct from the Kathmandu airport, saving the 4 hr transfer. He has fabulous connections and this came in handy a few times. Once in Lukla I met my guide Pemba and porter Dil. Both were super friendly and we got along right away. On trek I was impressed with Pemba's knowledge of the area and the people. He was quite connected to people in nearly every community and it meant some great access to the local culture including visits to schools, health centers and local Sherpa teahouses. Pemba was also great at adjusting our daily schedule when we were making great progress and also did his best to adjust to avoid the more overcrowded towns. On the harder pass crossings Pemba was great with pacing and ensuring we took enough breaks to keep our energy high. Towards the end of the trip I ended up picking up a parasite and both Pemba and Ngima were incredibly supportive to make some major adjustments in the plans and get me the medical treatment I needed. Getting sick is never fun but they did everything they could to ensure it was as smooth as possible. Overall it was an amazing visit to the Himalayas. I loved that the trek was a physical challenge with views that will stay in my memory forever. I cannot say enough great thinks about Ngima. As a guide company operator he does the perfect job in planning and communication. As a person Ngima is warm, generous and deeply connected to his community. It was a pleasure to meet him, Pemba and Dil and hope to get back to Nepal soon to share another adventure with them.

A friend from Denmark and I have just completed a most wonderful 3 week trek around Kanchenjunga. Everything went well, from the moment we were met at Kathmandu airport by Ngima Dorji Sherpa the Director of Nepal Myths and Mountain Trails to the moment we were farewelled at the airport 25 days later. Ngima provided us with an excellent guide Ang Gelu and very strong porter, Kunga. These two gentle men took us on a most amazing adventure. We are experienced walkers. Kunga led the way and Ang Gelu stayed with us making sure we were in good shape. If we wanted to stop for photographs, short diversions from the track (I am a geologist) or study the landscape, Ang Gelu kindly allowed us the time. His English is excellent and he joined in many of our discussions - both serious and in fun. Ang Gelu and Kunga always made sure we had accommodation at our tea houses and took an active role in organising our meals. We often saw Kunga in the kitchen assisting with the preparation of our meals and those for other trekkers.

The Kanchenjunga trek passes through beautiful country - through villages and farmlands, wonderful forests and then the barren landscapes above the tree line. The mountains and valleys are huge and Kanchenjunga is a true giant. Jannu is another magnificent mountain. I particularly enjoyed the two nights and days we had at Ramche, close to the South Base Camp. It is a wonderful mountain location. Another highlight was the day spent crossing the passes between the Ghunsa Khola and Kabeli Khola. The distant views to Makalu, Everest and the Himalayan foothills are breathtaking.

I can't thank Ngima, Ang Gelu and Kunga enough for organising and supporting such an amazing trip.

My Nepal trip via local connection with Nepal Myths and Mountain Trails (NMMT) was great and rewarding. The local connection with Ngima D , who organized my trekking journey to Everest base camp, made the trip stress free and absolutely one of my favorite trip. I appreciate the clear communications between Nigma, his team and I, any issues were addressed immediately. My trip was approximately 20 days, long trips can have few instances that could derail the trip, however, Ngima D Nuru (guide ) and the porter , Nigma T, made my trip very enjoyable and worry free. Nuru was an excellent guide, his energy was always positive and encouraging. I was concerned about altitude sickness , but being with Nuru, he looked after my health as well; asking how I feel everyday, gave suggestions on food, warm water, tea, proper hydration. Ngima T, the porter, would sometimes trekked ahead , dropped his bag at the lodge/hotel, then trek back down and assist with my backpack because some sections were difficult and strenuous. I was able to avoid high altitude sickness that would've prevented trekking to EBC and I was also able to trek to Kalapathra , to have a 360 view of Mt. Everest and the surrounding mountain ranges. I did this trip as a solo traveler, being able to share moments with the local expert, guide and porter, made the trip fun and exciting , because I learned so much about the culture and history of Nepal, especially, the sherpas. Ngima D , took me out for dinner and lunch during my last couple days as I rest up to return home. This trip has been excellent thanks to Ngima D, Nuru, and Nigma T, who made it so enjoyable and memorable. I hope to return to Nepal when I am ready for another challenge.

You were amazing, informative and we enjoyed our time with you.

It is people who make experiences special and positive and rewarding as much as the places. Despite being monsoon season we had an absolutely fabulous time and got heaps of really good weather too, though maybe not perfect views of the mountains. But it was lovely and green and not too busy so we really enjoyed coming in August. Just take an umbrella for the odd shower.

The slightly formulaic approach to the itinerary through Kim Kim did me have me a little worried because I was trying to do something outside the formula but it all worked out and Ngima (Nepal Myths and Mountain Trails via KimKim) was amazing when we got there. Definitely use this tour company if thinking about going to Nepal.
